Introductory 

A  VERY  prominent  dairyman  once  said  that,  to  know  a 
breed,  one  needs  to  understand  its  nature,  its  nurture, 
and  its  ideal.  That  is,  one  must  realize  what  it  has  inherited 
from  its  ancestry,  the  influence  the  environment  in  which  it 
was  reared  has  given  it,  and  finally,  what  the  animal  itself 
has  been  able  to  add  as  its  measure  of  excellence. 

Heretofore  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  collate  all  the 
results  that  have  been  accomplished  by  the  Guernsey  breed. 
When  one  pauses  and  recalls  the  past  he  realizes  what  the 
varied  conditions  which  have  quietly  exerted  their  influence 
on  the  breed  are.  A  study  of  the  conditions  on  the  Island  is 
most  interesting.  The  Island  people  in  their  manner  of  han- 
dling and  caring  for  the  breed  and  their  tenacity  shown  in 
protecting  its  purity  have  contributed  greatly  to  the  develop- 
ment of  the  breed. 

No  one  has  been  more  fortunately  situated  to  know  all 
this,  and  no  one  has  more  zealously  endeavored  to  become 
familiar  with  all  phases  of  the  history  and  development  of 
the  breed,  than  has  the  author  of  this  book.  His  connection 
with  the  breed  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  has  given 
him  a  splendid  insight  into  its  characteristics.  His  early 
experience  at  the  home  farm  as  a  breeder  and  developer  of 
Guernseys,  his  knowledge  of  the  affairs  of  The  American 
Guernsey  Cattle  Club,  gained  as  a  member  of  its  executive 
board  and  two  years  as  its  president,  and  his  experience  as  an 
importer,  which  has  taken  him  on  many  trips  to  the  Island  of 
Guernsey,  have  enabled  him  to  bring  together  material  that 
is  of  great  value  to  all  breeders. 

Though  Guernseys  have  been  introduced  and  have  found 
favor  all  over  the  world,  it  is  fitting  that  a  composition  of 
their  history  should  first  appear  in  the  United  States,  where 
they  have  been  so  highly  appreciated. 

The  rapid  advance  which  the  breed  has  made  through  its 
ability  to  produce  the  highest  class  dairy  products  most  eco- 
nomically has  always  been  a  great  source  of  satisfaction  to  its 
admirers. 

The  future  of  the  Guernsey  is  a  bright  one.  The  public 
is  fast  demanding  a  better  class  of  dairy  products  and  is  rap- 


415510 


idly  learning  to  make  a  distinction  between  the  different 
grades  of  milk,  cream  and  butter.  The  Guernsey  and  her 
grades  stand  without  a  peer  in  the  economical  production  of 
products  having  the  highest  natural  color  and  finest  flavor. 

The  author's  endeavor  to  place  in  permanent  form  the 
results  that  have  been  accomplished  in  breeding  Guernseys 
will  be  thoroughly  appreciated  by  the  breeders.  It  will  give 
them  a  better  foundation  of  knowledge  and  a  clearer  concep- 
tion of  the  results  which  they  may  expect  to  accomplish.

CHAPTER  I 

The  Island  of  Guernsey' 

The  Island  of  Guernsey  and  the  sister  islands  of  Jersey, 
Alderney,  Sark,  Herm,  and  Jethou,  and  several  others  that  are 
little  more  than  rocks,  form  the  Channel  Islands  group,  and 
are  situated  in  the  English  Channel  not  far  from  the  coast  of 
France.  Guernsey  is  69  miles  southeast  of  the  nearest  point 
on  the  English  coast  and  about  28  miles  from  the  nearest 
point  on  the  coast  of  France.  Jersey  is  about  22  miles  south- 
east of  Guernsey  and  15  miles  from  the  coast  of  France,  and 
Alderney  is  22  miles  northeast  of  Guernsey  and  only  eight 
miles  from  the  nearest  point  on  the  French  coast.  Sark  and 
Herm,  the  only  other  islands  of  the  group  that  are  inhabited, 
lie  between  Guernsey  and  the  coast  of  France.  Jersey,  the 
largest  of  the  group,  contains  about  45  square  miles ;  is  in 
general  conformation  sloping  to  the  south;  and  has  a  slightly 
milder  climate  than  Guernsey,  where  the  general  slope  of  the 


Rocquaine   Bay,    Guernsey. 

land  is  northward.  Jersey  is  noted  not  only  for  its  cattle  but 
also  for  the  enormous  quantities  of  early  potatoes  that  are 
raised  and  shipped  to  the  English  markets. 

Guernsey  is  nine  miles  in  extreme  length  and  five  miles 
in  width,  and  has  an  actual  area  of  24  square  miles.  Ragged 
granite  bluffs  characterize  almost  its  entire  coast,  and  the  sur- 
rounding sea  is  very  dangerous  to  navigate,  due  not  only  to 


10  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

the  large  number  of  sunken,  jagged  rocks,  but  also  to  the 
rapid  tides  that  flow  in  and  out  among  the  islands.  At  no 
point  between  Guernsey  and  the  coast  of  France  does  the 
sea  exceed  100  feet  in  depth,  and  the  rush  of  the  tides  back 
and  forth  through  the  English  Channel,  connecting  with  the 
North  Sea,  coupled  with  the  dense  fogs  that  prevail  at  many 


Garden    Rocks,   Alderney. 


seasons  of  the  year,  all  add  to  the  dangers  of  navigation  about 
the  islands. 

Alderney  is  only  about  one  by  three  miles  in  extent,  and 
Sark  is  not  far  from  the  same  size. 

The  sea  about  the  islands  is,  indeed,  a  graveyard  for 
ships.  A  diver  who  a  few  years  ago  went  down  among  the 
rocks  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Guernsey  to  locate  the  founda- 
tion for  the  Hanois  Lighthouse  said  he  counted  the  wrecks 
of  over  50  vessels  of  all  periods  of  time,  from  the  Caesars 
down  to  the  present.  I  myself  saw,  in  1910,  the  wrecks  of 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  11 

four  large  freight  steamers,  each  carrying  over  5,000  tons  of 
coal,  piled  up  on  the  rocks  of  Alderney.  All  had  gone  ashore 
during  two  weeks. 

The  islands  are  well  equipped  with  lighthouses,  beacons 
and  signals,  and  after  the  wrecks  just  mentioned  a  very  large 
and  powerful  new  lighthouse  was  erected  on  the  island  of 
Alderney. 

About  20  miles  east  by  north  of  Guernsey  is  a  dangerous 
reef  of  rocks  called  the  Casquets.  On  one  of  these  rocks  is 
located  a  very  powerful  lighthouse,  but  in  spite  of  this  light 
many  notable  wrecks  have  occurred  there.  Perhaps  the  most 
notable  was  that  of  the  man-of-war  Victory,  of  110  guns,  with 
Admiral  Sir  John  Balchen  and  1,100  sailors  and  marines  on 
board,  which  foundered  October  5,  1744,  and  all  perished. 

A  recent  notable  wreck  was  that  of  the  steam  packet 
Lydia,  of  the  London  &  South  Western  Railroad  Company, 
which,  running  as  a  special  Good  Friday  excursion  boat,  was 
wrecked  here  and  hundreds  of  persons  perished. 

But  an  account  of  all  the  shipping  disasters  that  have  oc- 
curred in  these  treacherous  waters  would  fill  a  volume. 

The  passage  separating  the  Island  of  Alderney  from  a 
small  island  just  off  the  west  coast  is  called  the  Swinge,  and 
here  the  tides  sometimes  reach  a  velocity  of  12  miles  per 
hour.  It  is  a  strange  sight,  indeed,  to  one  unaccustomed  to 
such  mysteries  of  the  deep,  to  pass  through  the  Swinge  when 
the  tides  are  strongest  and  see  the  wonderful  rush  of  water 
over  the  rocks  out  in  the  sea.  It  is  almost  equal  at  its  worst 
to  the  whirlpool  rapids  at  Niagara. 

The  passage  between  Alderney  and  France  is  called  the 
Race  of  Alderney,  and  here  also  the  tides  ebb  and  flow  in  a 
manner  inconceivable  to  a  landsman.  The  tides  on  the  coasts 
of  the  islands  themselves  are  very  high,  having  reached,  at 
extreme  spring  tides,  50  feet  on  the  Island  of  Jersey  and  more 
than  40  feet  on  the  Island  of  Guernsey.  On  the  coast  of 
Normandy  opposite,  tides  of  60  feet  have  been  recorded. 

Great  damage  is  often  done  to  the  piers,  breakwaters  and 
beaches  by  storms  that  sometimes  occur  during  these  high 
tides.  I  saw  on  the  Island  of  Alderney,  in  March,  1911,  one 
such  storm.  The  accompanying  illustration  gives  one  some 
idea  of  the  height  of  the  waves,  when  it  is  known  that  the 
breakwater  here  is  20  to  30  feet  above  the  sea  level  of  this 
extremely  high  tide.  This  breakwater  is  a  part  of  the  admiralty 
works  and  forts,  constructed  between  1848  and  1852,  in  the

endeavor  to  make  a  harbor  of  refuge  for  English  war  vessels 
close  to  the  coast  of  France.  It  was  originally  nearly  a  mile 
long,  30  feet  or  more  in  width,  and  50  feet  above  the  average 
sea  level.  It  was  scarcely  completed  when  a  great  storm 
washed  away  about  one-third  of  it,  and  it  was  never  re- 
constructed. 

The  British  government  still  keeps  a  large  force  of  men 
at  work  quarrying  granite,  great  blocks  of  which,  together 
with  ponderous  cement  blocks  six  to  eight  feet  square,  are 
constantly  being  swung  off  into  the  sea  beside  the  breakwater 
to  protect  it  from  the  violence  of  the  waves.  One  severe 
storm  will  often  destroy  the  product  of  a  year's  labor  of  this 
force  of  men.  Long  rows  of  these  blocks  have  been  linked 
together  with  iron  two  inches  in  diameter,  and  yet  all  have 
been  ground  up  by  the  force  of  wind  and  water.  In  the  sea 
on  the  inside  of  the  breakwater  may  be  seen  pieces  of  rock 
weighing  tons  that  have  been  thrown  over  the  breakwater 
from  the  seaward  side  during  storms. 

There  are  10  forts  around  the  shores  of  Alderney,  only 
two  or  three  of  which  are  now  in  use.  One  of  these,  Fort 
Albert,  commanding  the  entrance  to  the  harbor,  is  situated 
on  a  rocky  point  300  feet  above  the  sea,  and  is  mounted  with 
large  modern  guns  that  doubtless  would  prove  a  formidable 
defense  aeainst  any  hostile  vessels.  There  are  from  500  to 
800  British  soldiers  quartered  at  this  fort. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


13 


There  are  two  forts  on  Guernsey.  One  of  them,  Castle 
Cornet,  standing  on  a  rock  in  the  sea  at  the  entrance  of  the 
harbor,  has  played  an  important  part  in  the  history  of  the 
island,  as  well  as  in  the  French  and  English  affairs  at  least 
as  far  back  as  1275.  The  other  fort  on  the  island  is  about  half 
a  mile  across  the  bay  from  Castle  Cornet,  and  is  known  as 
Fort  George.  In  these  two  fortresses  are  stationed  600  to 
800  British  soldiers,  and  on  almost  any  day,  especially  on 
Sunday,  an  American  visitor  would  be  reminded  of  "when 
the  redcoats  took  the  town,"  at  sight  of  these  soldiers  in,  their 
gay  red  uniforms  promenading  the  streets.  They  saunter  in 
groups  of  two  to  half  a  dozen,  but  more  frequently  one  of 
these  gaily  decorated  protectors  of  His  Majesty  will  be  seen 
walking  arm  in  arm  or  hand  in  hand  with  the  sweetheart  that 
occupies  his  attention  as  long  as  he  remains  on  the  island. 

In  nearly  every  bay  and  on  many  of  the  prominent  points 
of  Guernsey  are  small  ancient  towers  or  forts,  called  Martello 
towers,  which  are  very  picturesque.  They  are  built  of  solid 
masonary  four  to  five  feet  thick,  and  are  15  to  20  feet  in 
diameter  and  30  to  40  feet  high.  The  interior  space  is  limited, 
and  each  has  two  circles  of  loopholes  to  command  every 
direction.  There  are  also  ruins  of  many  other  old  and  aban- 
doned forts. 


14  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

Guernsey  has  the  best  harbor  of  all  the  islands,  and  the 
largest  ocean-going  liners  and  battleships  can  enter,  but  not 
without  the  assistance  of  a  local  pilot,  for  the  passages  are 
extremely  dangerous.  Scarcely  a  day  goes  by  in  summer 
that  one  or  more  private  yachts  belonging  to  some  American 
or  English  visitor  may  not  be  seen  in  the  harbor. 

Guernsey  and  Jersey's  freight,  passenger,  and  mail  ser- 
vice with  Great  Britain  is  all  that  could  be  desired.  One 
may  leave  London  on  any  of  three  evenings  of  the  week,  at 
about  9:30  on  the  London  &  South  Western  Railroad,  take 
ship  at  Southampton  soon  after  midnight,  and  be  in  Guernsey 
at  seven  and  in  Jersey  at  10  in  the- morning.  On  the  alternate 
three  nights  of  the  week  one  may  leave  on  the  Great  Western 
Railroad  and  embark  at  Weymouth  at  2  :30  a.  m.  and  arrive 
at  Guernsey  at  7  a.  m.  This  is  also  the  usual  schedule  of 
winter  service.  In  the  summer  one  may  also  leave  London 
any  morning  on  the  Great  Western  Railroad  and  arrive  in 
Guernsey  in  time  for  the  evening  dinner.  These  steamship 
lines  are  owned  by  two  railway  companies,  and  return  tickets 
are  good  on  either  route.  Besides  the  steam  mail  packets, 
each  railway  company  runs  freight  vessels,  almost  as  large, 
every  day  or  two,  as  the  service  requires.  There  is  also  a 
regular  line  of  steamships  running  from  Guernsey  to  London 
direct. 

A  very  interesting  system  of  signals  on  flag  staffs  on 
Castle  Cornet  and  on  the  grounds  of  Fort  George  notifies 
the  islanders  when  a  mail  boat  from  England  or  Jersey  is 
in  sight  or  is  at  the  wharf. 

Traffic  between  the  islands  is  also  carried  on  by  small 
steamers.  The  boats  go  from  Guernsey  to  Alderney  on  Tues- 
day morning,  going  on  to  Cherbourg,  France,  Tuesday  after- 
noon, and  return  by  the  same  route  on  Wednesday.  The 
same  voyage  is  made  on  Saturday  and  Sunday,  and  on  Thurs- 
day they  go  over  and  back  on  the  same  day.  A  trip  is  made 
from  Guernsey  to  Sark  at  least  once  a  week,  and  during  the 
summer  season  excursion  boats  run  once  a  week  to  the  Island 
of  Herm. 

Herm  is  about  one  and  one-half  miles  long  and  three- 
fourths  of  a  mile  wide,  and  is  rented  of  the  English  govern- 
ment by  Prince  Blucher  of  Germany  for  a  summer  home.  On 
the  eastern  side  of  this  island  is  a  very  beautiful  shell  beach 
which  is  the  attraction  for  summer  visitors  and  is  the  only 
spot  on  the  island  that  tourists  are  allowed  to  visit.  This

beach,  several  hundred  feet  long  and  200  feet  wide  at  low  tide, 
is  composed  entirely  of  shells,  of  which  very  few  are  varieties 
that  are  native  to  these  waters.  Many  of  them  are  varieties 
that  are  found  only  in  the  West  Indies.  Pieces  of  water-logged 
mahogany  and  other  tropical  woods  have  been  found  mixed 
with  the  shells.  This  island  also  has  on  it  large  numbers  of 
rabbits  and  kangaroos.  While  the  kangaroo  is  a  native  of 
warmer  climates,  it  thrives  here,  often  becoming  so  plentiful 
as  to  destroy  the  crops,  when  many  are  killed  off. 

The  Island  of  Sark  is  to  many  people  the  gem  of  the 
group,  and  some  Americans  spend  the  whole  summer  there 
without  stopping  at  the  larger  islands  or  in  England.  The 
harbor  of  Sark,  called  Creux  harbor,  is  largely  artificial,  and 
even  the  small  steamers  that  ply  between  the  islands  often 
cannot  enter  because  of  a  rough  sea.  At  such  times  the 
visitor  is  taken  to  land  in  a  small  boat,  and  even  in  a  moderate 
sea  this  is  a  memorable  experience  for  a  landsman.  Old  silver 
and  copper  mines  exist  on  both  Sark  and  Herm,  although  they 
have  not  been  worked  for  years.  Amethysts  and  other  rock 
crystal  gems  are  found  in  small  numbers  in  Sark,  and  all  sorts 
of  jewelry  purported  to  be  made  of  Sark  stone  are  offered 
to  tourists.  These  souvenirs  are  ornamental,  but  it  is  ques- 
tionable if  any  of  the  stones  actually  come  from  Sark. 


16  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

Fish  of  many  varieties  are  plentiful,  and  one  of  the  most 
interesting  places  on  the  island  to  visit  is  the  fish  market. 
Here  on  any  morning  of  the  week,  but  especially  Saturday 
morning,  one  may  see  what  is  apparently  a  large  part  of  the 
population  of  the  island  dickering  and  bargaining  with  the 
fishwives  for  the  fish  on  display. 

On  entering  the  market  one  finds  himself  in  a  spacious 
arcade  nearly  200  feet  long  with  double  rows  of  marble  slabs 
covered  with  fish,  and  each  market  woman  having  a  space 
allowance  of  from  four  to  six  feet  in  length  on  these  tables. 
The  fish  generally  found  in  the  Guernsey  market  are  the 
turbot,  cod,  red  and  gray  mullet,  bass,  shrimp,  plaice,  dole, 
pollock,  silver  whiting,  mackerel,  lobster  and  the  conger  eel, 
the  latter  when  stretched  out  on  the  marble  slabs  resembling 
a  young  sea  serpent.  Also  crabs  of  an  immense  size  are  on 
sale.  Lobsters  are  very  plentiful  and  low  in  price,  and  several 
hotels,  situated  on  the  western  side  of  the  island,  make  a 
specialty  of  serving  lobster  luncheons. 

The  ormer  is  a  shellfish  peculiar  to  the  Channel  Islands, 
and  at  extreme  low  tides  the  islanders  gather  large  quantities 
of  them.  When  properly  cooked  they  are  a  great  delicacy. 
Mackerel  are  so  plentiful  that  they  are  peddled  around  the 
streets  at  three  for  lOc.  In  spite  of  this  fact  it  is  hard  to  get 
mackerel  served  on  hotel  tables,  and  the  only  reason  I  can 
think  of  is  that  they  are  so  cheap  as  to  be  common,  while 
almost  every  day  the  hotels  serve  salmon  that  comes  from 
Scotland  or  Norway,  costing  50c  a  pound. 

Not  only  are  there  many  local  fishermen,  but  oftentimes 
many  French  fishing  boats  may  be  seen  outside  the  harbor 
or  tied  up  at  the  beach  while  the  fishermen  trade. 

Quite  authentic  history  of  the  island  dates  back  to  the 
llth  century,  and  it  is  certain  that  the  Romans  landed  here 
in  the  days  when  they  first  came  to  conquer  Britain.  Old 
ruins  are  shown  the  visitor  of  buildings  said  to  have  been 
made  by  Robert  Duke  of  Normandy,  1029,  in  return,  for  the 
kindness  the  inhabitants  showed  him  during  a  storm  when 
his  fleet,  on  its  way  to  England,  sought  refuge  in  the  Guern- 
sey port. 

As  will  appear  in  Chapter  II,  the  French  monks  seem  to 
have  become  established  on  the  island  in  the  llth  century, 
and  the  10  parish  churches  were  built  between  1111  and  1117. 
It  gives  one  a  feeling  of  awe  to  enter  one  of  these  churches. 
to  think  that  for  800  years  people  have  been  christened  and 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


17 


married  in  and  buried  from  these  same  roomss  These  parish 
churches  now,  of  course,  belong  to  the  established  church  of 
England,  but  all  sorts  of  dissenters  have  their  churches  on 
the  island  as  well,  with  services  in  both  English  and  French. 
The  people  of  Guernsey  are  largely  of  French  descent, 
and  English  and  patois,  called  Guernsey  French,  are  spoken 
by  nearly  every  one  of  the  islanders.  A  few  cannot  speak 
English,  but  the  Guernsey  people  are  very  loyal  to  England, 
and  English  is  gradually  superseding  French  as  the  language 
of  the  majority.  The  people  are  hospitable,  and,  while  they

may  seem  a  bit  distant  to  strangers  at  first,  as  soon  as  they 
find  that  one  is  "all  right"  nothing  they  have  is  too  good  for 
one. 

The  population  of  the  island  is  nearly  45,000,  and  con- 
sidering that  the  island  contains-  only  24  square  miles,  one 
may  readily  see  that  it  is  almost  as  densely  populated  as 


18  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

some  American  cities  covering  the  same  area.  That  part  of 
the  island  surrounding-  St.  Peter  Port  harbor  is  so  thickly 
populated  as  to  be  a  city,  and  as  one  drives  out  into  the 
country  one  gets  almost  to  the  far  side  of  the  island  before 
it  looks  like  anything  else  but  city. 

Many  interesting  old  buildings  are  seen,  Practically 
nothing  has  been  done  to  preserve  them,  and  they  are  usually 
torn  down  to  make  way  for  modern  improvements.  In  the 
days  of  war  between  France  and  England,  and  during  the 
American  Revolution,  large  numbers  of  privateers  and  smug- 
gling vessels  made  these  islands  their  headquarters,  and  the 
foundation  fortunes  of  many  families  were  made  in  those 
times.  Some  of  the  families  of  today  are  proud  to  claim  their 
descent  from  these  men,  who  were  little  short  of  buccaneers. 
Many  of  the  old  wine  cellars,  hewn  in  the  solid  rock  and  used 
in  the  trade  of  those  early  days,  can  still  be  seen  in  the  side- 
hills  of  the  town. 

The  island  has  a  monetary  system  of  its  own,  consisting 
of  bank  notes,  state  notes,  and  copper  coins  designated  as  one, 
two,  four,  and  eight  doubles.  The  eight-double  piece  has 
supposedly  the  value  of  the  English  penny,  but  actually  it 
passes  at  a  discount.  Guernsey  money  is  the  basis  of  price  in 
most  business  transactions,  and  if  English  money  is  offered  in 
payment,  a  premium  of  5  per  cent  is  allowed.  Then,  besides  the 
English  money  and  the  local  currency,  the  silver  coinage  of 
nearly  every  country  of  Europe,  especially  that  of  France,  is 
in  daily  circulation.  The  French  franc,  valued  at  about  19. 3c 
in  American  money,  passes  in  Guernsey  as  10  pence  of  cur- 
rency, and  is  used  much  more  commonly  than  the  British 
shilling.  At  least  three  of  the  London  banks  have  branches 
on  the  island,  and  there  are  other  local  banking  institutions. 

In  the  United  States  the  Channel  Islands  are  known 
almost  altogether  because  of  the  breeds  of  cattle  that  come 
from  them.  If  one  asks  people  in  England  if  they  know  the 
Channel  Islands,  they  are  likely  to  reply :  "Oh  yes,  I  spent 
my  holiday  there  last  summer."  An  enormous  number  of 
tourists  visit  the  islands  each  summer,  more  in  Jersey  prob- 
ably than  in  Guernsey.  Most  excellent  hotels  abound  on  all 
of  the  islands,  and  as  good  accommodations  can  be  secured  as 
one  will  find  in  American  cities  of  moderate  size. 

Fine  public  gardens  are  maintained,  and  an  excellent 
means  of  transportation  is  'provided  by  the  busses  that  run 
from  the  town  market  square  out  to  the  center  of  nearly  every

country  parish.  There  is  also  a  trolley  line,  about  two  miles 
in  length,  running  from  the  quay  of  St.  Peter  Port,  north 
to  St.  Samson  harbor,  the  only  places  where  vessels  larger 
than  small  fishing  boats  can  land. 

The  only  industry  of  any  kind  on  Guernsey,  other  than 
agriculture,  is  that  of  quarrying  granite,  which  is  shipped  to 
England  as  paving  blocks  and  crushed  granite,  there  to  be 
used  in  the  construction  of  England's  roads.  This  is  a  very 
large  industry  both  in  Guernsey  and  Alderney,  and  large 
steamers  laden  with  the  product  leave  every  day.  The  granite 
is  said  to  be  one  of  the  hardest  varieties  known. 

A  splendid  system  of  roads  is  maintained  throughout  the 
island,  with  a  total  mileage  of  about  550  miles.  Most  of  them 
have  by  their  sides  either  stone  walls  five  feet  and  upward  in 
height  or  earth  fences  that  are  often  eight  or  10  feet  thick 
at  the  bottom,  five  feet  high,  and  three  feet  wide  at  the  top. 
The  main  roads  are  usually  16  feet  wide,  but  many  of  the 
roads  are  called  lanes  and  are  not  over  eight  or  10  feet  wide. 
Oftentimes  at  some  turn  in  one  of  these  lanes  two  vehicles 
will  meet,  which  means  that,  unless  some  farmer's  gate  is 
convenient  for  one  or  the  other  to  drive  into,  one  of  them 
must  back  out.

The  tops  of  many  of  these  earth  roadside  fences  are 
covered  with  gorse,  as  are  many  of  the  cliffs  and  other  waste 
lands.  The  gorse,  known  also  as  furze,  may  be  of  added 
interest  to  some,  since  it  has  given  rise  to  the  saying:  "Love 
will  go  out  of  fashion  when  the  gorse  ceases  to  bloom."  One 
can  find  large  quantities  of  this  particular  plant  in  bloom  365 
days  in  ordinary  years  and  366  days  in  leap  years.  It  is  an 
evergreen  plant  and,  when  young  and  tender,  the  new  growth 
is  sometimes  cut  and  used  as  forage  crop,  but  later  it  becomes 
woody,  and  the  stalks  are  bound  into  bundles  and  used  for 
fuel  in  the  fireplaces  and  kitchen  ranges. 

These  roads  are  all  built  of  granite  and  are  kept  in  per- 
fect condition,  it"  even  being  the  duty  of  the  children,  ap- 
parently, to  sweep  up  the  droppings  of  the  horses,  for  use  as 
fertilizer;  and  in  town  the  streets  are  not  only  swept  but, 
as  the  hills  are  steep,  they  are  sprinkled  with  finely  crushed 
granite  to  keep  the  horses  from  slipping.  Motor  cars  are 
now  very  numerous  on  the  island.  A  large  part  of  them  are 
of  American  make,  so  that  the  islanders  are  beginning  to  re- 
turn a  few  of  the  dollars  wre  have  paid  them  for  their  cattle. 
The  horses  used  on  the  island,  about  6,000  in  number,  come 
from  France  or  England  and  are  usually  of  excellent  type  of 
the  smaller,  more  active  cart  horse. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  21 

The  climate  of  Guernsey  is  semi-tropical,  and  the  range 
of  temperature  from  summer  to  winter  is  slight.  The  ther- 
mometer seldom  registers  above  70  degrees  Fahrenheit,  or 
below  40  degrees,  and  never  remains  stationary  at  the  freezing 
point. 

Slight  snowfalls  occur  at  rare  intervals.  In  April,  1911, 
snow  fell  to  a  depth  of  18  inches  on  the  level,  and,  as  April 
would  about  correspond  with  our  June  as  regards  foliage  and 
plant  growth  in  general,  one  can  readily  see  that  much  damage 
would  be  done,  although  the  temperature  was  not  down  to 
the  freezing  point. 

The  months  of  November  and  December  are  apt  to  be 
cold,  wet,  and  disagreeable,  with  high  winds.  This  is  not 
always  true,  for  in  a  letter  received  from  the  Island  of  Al- 
derney,  dated  December  17,  1913,  the  writer  said  that  on  that 
day  he  had  picked  a  beautiful  bunch  of  roses  from  his  garden, 
including  crimson  ramblers. 

The  most  severe  of  the  winter  weather  is  generally  over 
by  the  middle  of  January,  and  by  that  time,  and  often  earlier, 
the  camellia  begins  to  bloom,  followed  by  almost  every  variety 
of  flower  one  can  mention.  The  people  of  the  island  are  won- 
derful lovers  of  everything  belonging  to  floriculture  and  horti- 
culture. 

Fuchsias,  geraniums,  and  roses  run  riot  over  the  houses, 
with  such  masses  of  bloom  as  to  make  the  foliage  almost  in- 
visible. Another  flowering  shrub  that  is  planted  very  fre- 
quently along  garden  paths  and  roadways  is  the  blue  flowered 
veronica.  Many  varieties  of  palms  flourish  in  the  gardens 
and  the  agave,  or  American  aloe,  commonly  called  with  us 
the  century  plant,  often  blossoms  out  of  doors.  In  the  sum- 
mers of  1911  and  1913  I  saw  beautiful  specimens  of  this  plant 
in  blossom  with  flower  stalks  20  to  25  feet  high. 

There  is  also  grown  a  species  of  lily  known  as  the  Guern- 
sey lily.  Without  doubt  this  was  originally  of  Japanese  origin 
and  is  supposed  to  have  come  to  the  Island  of  Guernsey  in 
an  early  day  by  the  wreck  of  some  Japanese  or  Chinese  junk. 

The  agriculture  of  Guernsey  is  really  its  marvel.  While 
there  are  a  little  over  15,000  acres  comprising  the  island,  con- 
sidering the  space  occupied  by  the  rocky  cliffs,  the  550  miles 
of  roads,  the  towns,  houses,  barns,  other  outhouses,  and 
fences,  with  nearly  1,000  acres  in  one  tract  that  is  a  barren, 
sandy  waste  and  used  for  golf  commons,  it  could  hardly  be 
that  more  than  one-half  to  two-thirds  of  the  acreage  is  really

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


under  productive  cultivation.  Yet,  in  spite  of  this,  the  agri- 
cultural exports  from  the  island  for  the  year  1909  amounted 
to  $350  per  acre  for  every  acre  of  the  island. 

When  it  is  considered  that  all  of  the  beef,  pork,  grain, 
butter,  milk,  poultry  and  eggs  produced  on  the  island  are 
needed  for  home  consumption,  and  large  quantities  of  the 
vegetables  and  fruits  as  well,  these  export  figures  are  almost 
beyond  conception  to  an  American  farmer.  It  is  little  wonder 
that  land  sells  at  $1,000  to  $2,000  per  acre  and  rents  for  from 
$50  to  $75  per  acre  per  year.  This  productiveness  is  largely 
due  to  the  greenhouse  industry,  and  it  is  said  that  if  the  green- 
houses now  on  the  island  were  placed  end  to  end  they  would 
reach  800  miles.  Some  farmers  run  as  many  as  90  houses. 
Not  all  of  these  are  artificially  heated,  many  of  them  being 
simply  great  cold  frames. 

Some  of  the  crops  grown  in  these  houses  are  grapes,  figs, 
peaches,  nectarines,  pears,  tomatoes,  beans,  potatoes,  cucum- 
bers, French  melons,  carnations,  arums  and  almost  every  other 
kind  of  bulbous  flower. 

It  hardly  seems  possible  that  it  would  pay  to  grow  po- 
tatoes under  glass,  but  I  have  seen  them  selling  on  the  wharf 
for  6d  per  pound,  equal  to  12c  per  pound,  or  $7  per  bushel, 
in  American  money. 

The  largest  single  crop  is  tomatoes,  and  to  gain  a  true 
idea  of  this  industry  in  Guernsey  one  must  remember  that 
many  of  the  plants  cultivated  here  under  glass  to  supply  the 
English  markets  will  not  grow  out  of  doors  in  England  at 
all,  and  this  is  true  of  the  tomato.

To  a  visitor,  perhaps  the  grape  crop  is  the  most  interest- 
ing of  all  the  crops  grown.  Once  in  two  or  three  years  the 
grapes  can  be  forced  unusually  early,  and  they  often  then 
command  a  price  as  high  as  $1.25  per  pound,  or  even  more. 
One  of  the  growers  told  me  that  in  a  single  season  he  sold 
$13,000  worth  of  grapes  from  four  houses.  The  usual  price, 
however,  ranges  from  25  to  50c  per  pound.  The  best  of  these 
grapes  are  so  much  better  than  any  other  grapes  I  have  tasted 
that  there  is  no  comparison.  The  varieties  mostly  grown 
are  the  Tokays  and  Muscats,  though  I  think  the  best  of  any 
I  have  tasted  is  the  Canon  Hall. 

In  the  early  spring  months  the  amount  of  flowers  shipped 
daily  to  England  is  incredible.  On  the  Thursday  preceding 
Easter  in  1907  I  went  down  to  the  wharf  at  6  a.  m.  and  found 
that  the  work  of  transferring  flowers  from  the  wagons  to  the 
boat  had  proceeded  since  4 :30  a.  m.  Still  there  was  a  stream 
of  wagons  a  mile  long  waiting  to  unload,  and  it  was  after  10 
o'clock  before  the  last  of  the  flowers  were  safely  on  board. 
The  shipment  that  day  amounted  to  over  17,000  cases,  most 
of  which  were  three  to  five  feet  long,  a  foot  wide,  and  eight 
inches  high. 

When  the  flowers  are  grown  out  of  doors-the  fields  in 
bloom  make  a  beautiful  sight,  indeed.  I  remember  a  field  of 
jonquils  that  I  used  to  pass  every  day  on  my  way  to  the 
country,  and  as  we  went  out  in  the  morning  we  saw  a  force 
of  a  dozen  men,  women  and  girls  start  picking  on  one  edge 
of  the  field.  When  we  came  back  for  luncheon  at  1  o'clock 
they  were  half  way  across  the  field,  and  where  they  had  begun 
to  pick  the  yellow  was  beginning  to  show  again.  By  night 
the  workers  had  finished,  but  on  the  side  where  they  had 
begun  the  field  was  almost  as  yellow  as  it  was  in  the  morning. 
The  picking  went  on  day  after  day,  and  later,  when  the  flower 
season  was  over  and  the  plants  had  died  down,  the  field 
would  be  planted  to  vetches  and  oats,  either  to  be  fed  as  a 
soiling  crop  or  more  often  to  be  grazed  off  by  cows  tethered 
there.  Still  later  the  field  might  grow  a  crop  of  turnips.  This 
succession  of  crops  may  go  on  for  two  or  three  years,  when, 
after  the  last  crop,  the  field  would  be  spaded  over  by  hand 
and  an  enormous  quantity  of  bulbs  harvested,  many  of  the 
best  of  them  going  to  the  bulb  dealers  of  New  York,  Phila- 
delphia and  Chicago. 

Many  of  the  crops  grown  in  the  houses  are  planted  in 
pots,  and  when  the  crop  is  matured  the  pots  are  carried  out, 
and  some  other  plants  that  have  been  started  in  pots  are 


24 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


carried  in.  Still  another  system  somewhat  in  vogue  is  as  fol- 
lows: A  piece  of  land  100  feet  wide  and  400  to  600  feet  long 
is  laid  out  in  tracts  perhaps  40  to  50  feet  wide  and  the  longest 
way  across  the  field.  Then  two  or  three  glass  houses,  each 
40  by  100  feet,  are  so  arranged  that  they  can  be  moved  up 
or  down  on  small  railroad-like  tracks,  and  from  one  tract  to 
another,  thus  to  force  any  crop  in  the  field.  These  houses, 
of  course,  are  not  artificially  heated. 

Everything  about  this  greenhouse  industry  is  carried  on 
very  systematically,  except  the  marketing.  Having  talked 
many  times  with  different  growers  and  marketmen,  I  am  con- 
fident that  generally  a  more  uniform  price  could  be  obtained 
with  less  waste  of  produce  if  they  would  organize  a  co-oper- 
ative market  association.  Many  of  the  growers  ship  in  their 
own  names  to  the  commission  merchants  of  nearly  every  city 
of  Great  Britain,  while  others  sell  their  produce  on  the  island 
to  wholesale  merchants  that  market  in  more  wholesale  quan- 
tities. ;,  i  im 

While  there  is  considerable  commercial  fertilizer  used, 
dependency  is  largely  placed  on  the  manure  made  by  the 
horses  and  cattle  of  the  island.  Every  farm  has  a  very  care- 
fully cared  for  compost  heap,  to  which  is  carted  not  only 
manure  from  the  stables  but  every  bit  of  waste  vegetable 
matter  and  scattered  leaves  that  can  be  gathered  from  the

farm.  Then  at  certain  seasons  of  the  year,  when  the  laws 
allow,  many  farmers  draw  large  quantities  of  seaweed,  which 
is  spread  on  the  gardens  and  meadows.  The  seaweed  adds 
both  fertilizing  elements  and  humus  to  the  soil  and  does  not 
seem  to  bring  salt  enough  to  the  land  to  do  it  any  injury. 

Much  of  the  central  northern  part  of  the  island  is  below- 
sea  level  at  high  tide  and  has  been  reclaimed  from  the  sea. 
There  are  some  fields  that  still  have  tide  gates  that  close 
automatically  at  high  tide  and  open  at  low  tide  to  let  the 
drains  empty  their  water  into  the  sea. 

The  cattle  are  fed  largely  on  hay  and  roots.  The  root 
crops  are  mangolds,  parsnips  and  carrots.  This  is  the  only 
place  where  I  know  parsnips  to  be  grown  for  cattle  food. 
Even  here  the  best  farmers  seem  to  consider  them  to  be  of 
more  value  for  fattening  purposes  than  for  milk  production. 

The  hay  grown  is  quite  largely  alfalfa  or,  as  they  call  it, 
lucerne,  mixed  with  red  clover  and  Italian  rye  grass.  Alfalfa 
seems  to  do  very  well  there,  and  I  have  been  unable  to  find 
any  good  reason  why  they  do  not  sow  it  alone.  But  certain 
it  is  that  the  alfalfa  and  Italian  rye  grass  together  make  as 
fine  hay  as  one  could  wish  to  have  Because  of  the  frequent 
rains  and  the  many  foggy  days,  the  haying  proposition  is  a 
very  different  one  from  that  of  the  American  farmer.  The  hay 
lies  for  a  week  or  more  in  the  swath,  and  still  it  is  surprising 
what  beautiful  hay  is  made.  There  are  few  barns  in  which 


A  Guernsey  hay  stack. 


26  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

to  store  hay,  so  it  is  nearly  all  stacked  out  of  doors  in  great 
stacks  containing  up  to  50  tons.  Because  of  the  difficulty 
of  curing  the  hay  it  is  often  stacked  quite  damp,  and  wooden 
chimneys  a  foot  square  and  with  sides  bored  full  of  holes  are 
frequently  placed  in  these  stacks  to  allow  the  moisture  to 
escape  more  easily  as  the  sweating  process  goes  on.  These 
hay  stacks  are  a  work  of  art  and,  when  they  are  through 
sweating  and  settling,  they  are  frequently  very  carefully 
thatched  with  rye  straw,  giving  the  hay  as  much  protection 
from  the  elements  as  a  barn. 

The  farmers  there  will  tell  you  that  thatching  is  becoming 
a  lost  art,  and  many  are  now  constructing  ricks  for  their  hay 
by  setting  tall  upright  poles  and  having  a  roof  made  of  cor- 
rugated galvanized  steel  roofing  that  slides  up  and  down  on 
the  poles  so  that'  it  can  be  kept  close  to  the  top  of  the  stack 
for  protection. 

While  one  sees  many  American  and  English  farm  tools 
about  the  farms,  especially  mowers,  tedders  and  rakes,  much 
of  the  work  is  done  by  hand  labor  that  would  be  done  by 
machinery  in  this  country.  One  will  not  wonder  at  this,  how- 
ever, when  one  finds  that  the  average  price  of  farm  labor  on 
the  island  is  $12  a  month,  the  men  boarding  themselves.  In 
the  spring  of  1912  I  brought  a  young  man  over  with  me,  19 
years  of  age,  who  was  working  for  a  farmer  on  Alderney  for 
the  munificent  sum  of  4s  currency  per  week,  which  is  equal 
to  92c  in  our  money,  and  for  board  he  seldom  had  anything 
else  than  bread  and  tea.  It  is  little  wonder,  then,  that  every 
young  man  who  can  get  an  opportunity  to  emigrate  leaves 
home  at  once.  Not  all  of  them  who  come  to  Canada  and  the 
United  States  adapt  themselves  to  the  conditions  of  work  and 
living  in  this  country,  so  that  they  become  contented,  hence 
quite  a  few  of  them  eventually  find  their  way  back  home. 

Some  of  these  returned  Guernsey  men,  however,  have  ac- 
quired a  competence  while  in  this  country,  and  two  of  them, 
once  successful  New  York  merchants,  have  given  the  island 
a  very  good  free  library,  called  after  them  the  Guille-Allez 
Library. 

Like  every  other  country  in  Europe,  these  islands  have 
contributed  many  settlers  to  the  United  States  who  have 
settled  in  community  groups.  One  will  find  in  these  places 
relatives  of  nearly  every  family  on  the  island.  Guernsey 
county,  Ohio,  was  first  settled  by  people  from  this  island.

Often  families  visit  back  and  forth  from  the  island  with  their 
friends  in  America. 

While  a  few  of  the  cattle  are  pastured,  nearly  all  of  them 
are  tethered,  and  this  is  done  by  the  use  of  iron  tether  pins  8  to 
10  inches  long,  with  a  chain  about  16  feet  long  and  containing 
a  swivel  attached  to  the  chain  or  to  the  rope  around  the  horns. 
The  animals  are  moved  every  two  or  three  hours  and  only 
about  three  feet  at  a  time.  They  are  thus  unable  to  trample 
down  any  of  the  fresh  food  with  their  feet,  and  in  this  way 
it  is  possible  to  do  successful  tethering  along  side  of  vetches 
and  oats  that  will  often  be  five  feet  high  and  that  I  did  see 
above  my  head  in  1913. 

Many  of  the  farmers  cut  these  grain  crops  and  draw  them 
to  the  barn  or  to  racks  in  the  fields  and  use  them  as  soiling 
crops.  Very  limited  amounts  of  grain  are  harvested  and 
threshed,  but  the  yield  is  very  good  indeed.  I  saw  a  small 
field  of  winter  wheat  on  the  Island  of  Alderney  that  yielded 
upward  of  50  bushels  per  acre. 

The  Island  of  Guernsey  abounds  in  many  places  of  in- 
terest for  those  who  delight  to  delve  into  the  antiquities  of  a 
country.  There  are  several  cromlechs  and  Druidical  remains 
on  the  island.  A  Mr.  Lukes,  who  was  greatly  interested  in 
the  study  of  the  ancient  inhabitants  of  these  islands,  dug 
under  some  of  these  cromlechs  and  altars  and  collected  the

Perhaps  the  chief  place  of  interest  to  visitors  is  the  home 
of  Victor  Hugo,  who  lived  here  while  exiled  from  France. 
The  house  is  still  owned  by  the  family  and  is  open  part  of 
each  day  to  visitors  who  wish  to  view  the  interior.  The  home 
of  Victor  Hugo  has  additional  interest  to  lovers  of  antique 
furniture  because  it  is  filled  with  the  choicest  specimens  of 
old  English  styles.  It  was  here  that  Hugo  wrote  the  book 
"Les  Miserables."  If  one  desires  to  read  a  book  that  is  not 
only  a  beautiful  and  fascinating  story  but  which  also  contains 
wonderful  nature  descriptions  and  from  which  he  will  learn 
much  concerning  the  customs  of  the  people  of  the  island,  he 
will  surely  be  interested  in  reading  Hugo's  "Toilers  of  the 
Sea."  Nearly  every  shop  on  Guernsey  offers  it  for  sale  in 
editions  from  6d  up. 

The  homes  of  the  island  are  nearly  all  built  of  stone, 
brick,  tile,  or  cement,  with  many  of  the  older  ones  still  having 
thatched  roofs.  The  more  modern  ones  have  roofs  of  slate, 
tile,  cement,  or  asbestos  shingles.  Many  of  the  farmers  are 
freeholders  and  the  farms  are  handed  down  from  generation 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  29 

to  generation.  Nearly  every  house,  whether  in  town  or 
country,  has  a  name  of  its  own  and  is  spoken  of  by  that  name. 
It  is  much  easier  to  find  a  man  if  you  can  tell  the  'name  of 
his  house  than  it  is  even  to  know  his  name.  This  is  a  custom 
that  American  farmers  -could  well  copy.  It  adds  a  certain 
touch  of  sentiment  that  is  well  worthy  of  imitation. 

There  is  a  beautiful  custom  that  exists  in  this  connection. 
When  a  young  couple  are  married  and  move  into  a  house 
that  has  not  been  previously  occupied  by  ancestors  of  either 
of  the  pair,  they  are  permitted  to  carve  their  initials  over  the 
doorway,  with  the  date  of  their  marriage.  This  then  remains 
as  long  as  they  or  their  descendants  live  in  the  house.  The 
accompanying  illustration  shows  one  such  doorway,  being  of 
a  farmhouse  known  as  the  Grandes  Capelles.  My  friend, 
W.  W.  Marsh,  while  once  standing  in  front  of  this  doorway, 
remarked  to  Mrs.  Robillard,  the  present  mistress  of  the  home 
and  who  was  a  Miss  Robin:  "Seventeen  seventy-two!  My, 
isn't  that  an  old  house?"  Mrs.  Robillard  replied  almost  in 
scorn  and  disgust :  "That  isn't  when  the  house  was  built ; 
that  is  when  we  moved  in." 

Not  until  we  American  farmer?  come  to  love  a  farm 
home  and  to  think  of  it  as  something  more  than  a  piece  of 
real  estate  to  be  sold  to  the  first  person  that  will  offer  a 
little  more  than  it's  worth  will  we  care  for  such  a  home  and 
wish  to  hand  it  down  to  our  descendants  in.  a  little  better 
condition  than  we  found  it ;  and  not  until  then  will  we  be 
worthy  to  possess  the  deed  to  40,  80,  or  more  acres  of  the 
rich  soil  of  our  United  States. 

Most  of  the  cow  stables  of  the  island  are  anything  but 
models  for  the  purpose  for  which  they  were  intended,  and, 
though  each  year  finds  some  more  modern  stables  being  con- 
structed, most  of  the  older  ones  have  floors  made  of  cobble 
stones,  4  or  more  inches  in  diameter,  partially  bedded  in 
cement,  and,  as  little  bedding  is  obtainable,  one  can  well 
imagine  the  filthy  condition  in  which  many  of  the  stables  are 
found.  A  good  percentage  of  the  cattle  are  kept  in  the  stables 
at  night,  in  both  summer  and  winter. 

The  calves,  when  a  very  few  days  old,  are  fed  on  the 
milk  from  the  churn,  which  is  more  like  sour  skimmed  milk 
than  like  our  butter-milk.  I  venture  to  say  that  there  are 
many  old  cows  on  the  island  that  have  never  tasted  grain, 
but  more  and  more  farmers  are  each  year  feeding  grain  in 
addition  to  roots  >  and  hay,  and  the  condition  of  the  cattle

shows  it.  I  have  noticed  a  wonderful  improvement  in  the 
condition  of  the  cattle  on  the  island  since  I  made  my  first 
visit,  in  1907,  for  at  that  time  there  were  really  very  few  far- 
mers who  gave  their  cattle  good  care,  while  now  poor  care 
is  the  exception. 

There  has  also  been  a  marked  .improvement  in  the  last 
few  years  on  Alderney,  and  the  reason  is  that,  previous  to 
1910,  they  had  no  market  for  their  cattle,  except  an  occasional 
demand  from  England  or  Guernsey,  when,  the  Guernsey  far- 
mers paid  not  more  than  half  the  price  that  the  American  im- 
porters paid  them  for  the  same  animals. 

One  might  easily  keep  writing  about  this  island  until  a 
whole  book  were  written,  and  there  would  still  remain  many 
things  that  would  be  of  interest  to  any  reader,  and  especially 
to  one  who  has  a  love  for  the  Guernsey  cow.  The  place  will 
never  cease  to  have  charm,  either  in  story  or  in  reality,  and 
I  hope  that  many  of  those  who  read  this  book  and  who  have 
not  seen  for  themselves  will  have  an  opportunity  to  visit  this 
enchanting  island. 


CHAPTER  II 

The  Origin  of  the  Guernsey  Cow 

It  must  be  confessed  that  the  origin  of  Guernsey  cattle 
is  lost  in  mystery.  The  common  statement  is  that  they  are 
a  development  from  a  cross  between  the  large  red  cattle  of 
Normandy  and  the  small  red  cattle  of  Brittany.  I  have  been 
able  to  find  little  direct  proof  to  substantiate  such  a  claim. 
While  searching  for  evidence  on  this  point,  I  found  that  the 
subject  had  been  one  of  special  investigation  by  the  monks 
in  charge  of  the  Les  Vauxbelets  Agricultural  College,  Guern- 
sey. Their  theory  seems  to  be  the  most  probable  of  all  that 
I  found,  and  I  present  it  here  in  the  words  of  B.  J.  Ananias, 
professor  of  agriculture  in  that  school.  If  there  is  any  founda- 
tion of  fact  at  all  in  this  theory  of  the  origin  of  the  Guernsey, 
I  think  it  is  as  stated  in  his  letter.  He  writes  as  follows : 

"Though  the  origin  of  the  Guernsey  cow  be  lost  for  want  of 
definite  historical  records,  inferences  from  the  known  history  of  the 
people  and  from  analogies  of  qualities  and  habits  of  the  cattle  in 
question  permit  the  observer  and  student  to  draw  conclusions  which 
seem  to  point  out  the  very  breed  that  have,  in  days  of  yore,  contributed 
to  the  shaping  and  molding  of  the  excellent  modern  Guernsey. 

"1. — One  is  prompted,  by  study  and  comparisons,  to  say  that  the 
most  prominent  ancestor  of  the  Guernsey  cow  is  the  breed,  not  yet 
extinct,  called  'Froment  du  Leon,'  in  Brittany,  France.  This  'Froment 
du  Leon/  as  to  the  size  of  frame,  is  a  very  small  breed,  much  smaller 
than  the  present  Guernsey,  but  possessing  the  same  markings,  quite 
distinct  on  the  animal;  namely,  red  and  white,  fawn  and  white,  etc. 
It  is  active,  gaudy,  with  bright  eyes,  and  is  quiet  at  milkings.  It  is 
in  truth  a  charming  little  gem. 

"One  of  the  reasons  of  its  smallness  may  be  ascribed  to  the 
country  where  it  is  bred  and  lives;  there  the  grass  is  scanty  and  short, 
and  the  animal  has  to  work  hard  to  pick  up  a  full  feed.  Another 
reason  is  the  neglect  with  which  the  young  stock  is  raised,  the  little 
care  taken  of  it  by  the  breeder  even  unto  this  day,  except  a  few  well- 
to-do  gentlemen  who  lately  have  taken  steps  to  improve  it  by  severe 
selection,  better  housing,  and,  above  all,  better  feeding. 

"Though  the  'Froment  du  Leon'  animal  be  small,  it  gives  a  good 
flow  of  milk  proportionate  to  the  bulk  of  the  beast.  In  full  milk  it 
produces  up  to  30  pounds  daily  of  rich,  yellow  milk,  from  which  butter 
of  the  finest  quality  is  made. 

"Hence  by  close  analogy  this  cow  seems  to  be  the  leading  origin- 
ator of  our  modern  Guernsey. 

"2. — The  second  source  from  which  the  Guernsey  has  been  formed 
was  the  introduction  of  Norman  blood  of  the  brindle  variety  of  cattle, 
which  is  yet  to  be  found  in  the  rich  butter  district  of  Tsigny,  re- 
nowned as  producing  the  best  French  butter.  This  Norman  brindle 
breed  is  much  heavier  than  either  our  modern  Guernsey  or  the  old 


32  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

'Froment  du  Leon,'  and  gives  a  good  supply  of  rich  milk,  often  from 
60  to  70  pounds  daily  in  its  own  native  land. 

"This  second  ancestor  of  the  Guernsey  is  made  obvious  by  the 
brindle  cattle  which,  by  atavism  or  reversion,  often  appear  in  the 
Guernsey  breed,  and  also  by  the  black-nosed  cows  which  often  are 
met  with  in  the  island.  These  brindle  markings  and  the  black  nose 
come,  no  doubt,  from  the  Norman  brindle.  Besides,  only  a  few  years 
back  brindle  cattle  were  quite  common  in  the  island  and  had  a  very 
good  name  as  milkers. 

"By  selection,  since  foreign  cattle  are  no  more  admitted  in  the 
island,  the  brindle  marks  have  almost  disappeared,  or  have  a  great 
tendency  to  do  so,  as  has  also  the  black  nose. 

"Now,  the  crossing  of  the  two  breeds,  the  small  'Froment  du 
Leon'  and  the  bulky  Norman  brindle,  has  given  the  medium-size  cow 
of  Guernsey,  in  which  there  seems  to  be  more  blood  of  the  first 
than  of  the  other. 

Introduction  of  the  Breeds  into  the  Island  of  Guernsey. 

"3. — But  when  were  animals  of  this  breed  taken  to  Guernsey, 
where  resulted  the  cross?  This  is  the  very  point  on  which  no  record 
is  to  be  found,  yet  no  stone  has  been  left  unturned  in  the  effort  to 
discover  some  facts  of  the  introduction  and  crossing.  Consequently, 
the  observer  and  student  are  left  to  themselves  in  a  labyrinth  of  con- 
jecture, from  which  they  must  find  a  way  out  by  their  own  re- 
searches, and  draw  their  own  conclusions,  at  least  until  some  one 
is  fortunate  enough  to  discover  something  upon  which  he  can  build 
a  sure  and  undeniable  proof  of  the  date,  of  the  foundation  of  the 
excellent  and  unsurpassed  Guernsey  breed,  the  producer  of  the  richest 
and  best  butter  in  the  world. 

"According  to  the  Norman  chronicles,  the  Duke  of  Normandy 
sent  some  monks  of  'Mont  St.  Michel'  to  found  a  new  abbey  in 
Guernsey,  which  new  abbey  took  the  name  of  'St.  Michel  du  Val.' 
It  was  about  the  year  960.  Some  years  after,  Duke  William  of 
Normandy  gave  the  monks  new  lands  in  the  island  on  the  condition 
that  they  would  till  the  soil,  teach  the  art  of  agriculture  to  the  natives, 
and  defend  them  against  the  possible  encroachments  of  sea  rovers. 
The  extent  of  their  lands  included  the  four  parishes  known  today  as 
'Vale,'  'Catel,'  'St.  Saviour's,'  and  'St.  Peter  in  the  Woods.'  To  culti- 
vate so  much  land  efficiently  they  had  to  import  animals  from  the 
continent  as  draught  beasts  and  also  to  supply  products  directly 
for  their  living,  their  diet  consisting  mainly  of  milk,  butter  and  cheese. 
It  is  very  probable  that  there  were  no  cattle,  or  only  a  few  head, 
as  the  natives  were  few  in  number  and  very  poor,  many  having  been 
slaughtered  or  driven  into  slavery  in  the  previous  centuries,  and 
that  for  resisting  sea  pirates. 

"Now,  nearly  all  the  founders  of  the  abbey  'St.  Michel  du  Val' 
were  Bretons,  and  it  is,  therefore,  most  natural  they  should  import 
cattle  from  their  own  country.  Besides,  they  were  the  only  body  able 
then  to  import  animals  to  the  island,  the  natives  being  too  poor  and 
having  no  taste  for  breeding,  as  they  were  all  fishermen. 

"Some  years  afterward,  about  1061,  other  monks,  came  from 
Cherbourg.  They  established  two  new  abbeys,  one  on  Alderney  and 
one  at  'Blancheland,'  in  Guernsey.  These  new  colonists  after  settling 
brought  over  Norman  cattle  of  the  brindle  variety,  for  these  settlers 
were  Normans.  The  cattle  they  brought  over  were  in  the  course  of 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  33 

time  crossed  with  the  'Froment  du  Leon'  already  introduced.  It  took 
many  years  for  the  two  bloods  to  fuse  together  and  thereby  form  our 
modern  Guernsey.  Yet  good  results  crowned  the  efforts  of  the 
breeders.  .The  bulky  Norman  brindle  gave  stuff  to  the  offspring,  and 
the  'Froment  du  Leon'  gave  lightness  to  the  grade,  which  has  in 
the  course  of  years  became  the  beautiful  Guernsey. 

"Such  would  be  the  origin  of  the  Guernsey  cow,  and,  in  the 
absence  of  any  documents  to  the  contrary,  this  version  seems  to  be 
the  only  probable  one,  considering  the  state  of  the  island  at  such  a 
period  in  the  10th  and  llth  centuries. 

"The  likelihood  of  a  fusion  of  Ayrshire  blood  does  not  appear 
quite  satisfactory,  because,  though  the  Ayrshire  be  somewhat  of  the 
same  type  as  the  Guernsey,  the  milk  it  produces  is  far  inferior  in 
quality  to  that  of  our  breeds;  and,  if  any  crossing  had  taken  place, 
the  Guernsey  would  not  today  possess  the  quality  of  richness  of  milk 
in  so  marked  a  degree. 

"Of  course,  if  we  consider  the  different  breeds  and  inquire  into 
their  origin,  we  find  much  analogy  between  the  Ayrshire,  the  Welsh, 
the  Kerry,  and  the  Breton  breeds,  and  one  is  inclined  to  infer  that 
at  one  time  these  four  breeds  were  all  developed  from  the  one  breed 
likely  to  have  been  dispersed  when  the  Angles  made  the  conquest 
and  settled  in  England,  driving  the  native  Kelts  to  Wales,  to  Armorica, 
as  Brittany  was  then  called,  and  to  Ireland.  But  this  took  place  long 
before  the  10th  century.  The  differences  of  climate,  soil,  pasture, 
treatment,  and  other  causes  have  wrought  such  changes  in  the  off- 
spring that  new  breeds  have  thereby  become  established,  differing  in 
color,  milking  qualities,  size  and  other  points  that  characterize  a 
breed. 

"Therefore,  in  conclusion,  it  is  fair  to  admit  that  only  the  'Fro- 
ment du  Leon'  and  the  bulky  Norman  brindle  are  the  real  and  main 
originators  of  our  modern  Guernsey  cow." 

The  following  quotations  from  the  book,  "Annals  of 
Some  of  the  British  Norman,  Isles  Constituting-  the  Bailiwick 
of  Guernsey,"  by  John  Jacob,  published  in  1830,  makes  it 
evident  that  as  early  as  that  date  Guernsey  was  noted  in 
England  for  its  cows.  On  page  36,  under  the  heading  "Agri- 
culture of  Alderney,"  he  says : 

"With  respect  to  agriculture  and  horticulture,  we  find  that  Devon- 
shire and  Herefordshire  are  celebrated  for  their  fine  cattle  and  excel- 
lent cider.  Kent,  for  corn,  drill  husbandry,  and  hops.  Romney  Marsh, 
sheep  and  fruits,  particularly  cherries  and  filberts.  Norfolk,  for  tur- 
nip and  barley  culture.  Cheshire,  for  cheese.  Surrey,  for  Farnham 
hops.  Sussex,  for  fine  cattle  and  Southdown  sheep.  Leicestershire, 
for  large  sheep  and  long  wool,  while  Portland  Isle  is  known  far  and 
near  from  its  small,  highly  flavored  mutton,  and  short  wool.  Thus 
it  is  with  the  Island  of  Guernsey,  which  has  long  been  known  for 
its  excellent  culture  of  parsnips,  as  well  as  for  cows,  fruits  and  vege- 
tables, particularly  Chaumontel  pears,  figs,  etc.,  and  broccoli;  for  J 
cider,  for  Guernsey  lilies  and  other  flowers. 

"The  same  may  be  said  of  Alderney,  with  respect  to  its  cows, 
which,  for  more  than  half  a  century,  have  been  sought  for  by  persons 
in  all  parts  of  England  on  account  of  the  richness  and  produce  of 


34  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

their  excellent  cream  and  butter.  I  was  told  by  a  gentleman  of 
Alderney  that  though  their  cows  are  much  smaller,  and  require  less 
food  than  those  of  Guernsey,  yet  their  produce  in  cream  and  butter 
is  as  great.  This  may,  however,  be  disputed  by  the  Guernsey  gentle- 
men, as  I  could  not  learn  that  any  fair  experiment  had  been  made 
for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  the  truth." 

In  a  footnote  Jacob  says : 

"Mr.  Sandford,  the  Jurat,  said  that  Gen.  Bayly,  when  governor 
of  Guernsey,  taking  a  fancy  to  one  of  his  cows,  wished  to  send  her 
to  His  Majesty.  Mr.  Sandford  consented,  upon  the  condition  that  the 
governor  should  send  him  one  of  the  best  Guernsey  sort.  He,  therefore, 
has  had  both  sorts  on  trial,  and  he  told  the  writer  that  he  had  found 
the  Alderney  sort  to  give  as  much,  if  not  more,  butter  than  the 
Guernsey  cow.  Mr.  Sandford  also  remarked  that  the  Guernsey  cows 
became  dry  before  calving  long  before  the  Alderney;  at  least  his 
did,  which,  he  said,  was  nearly  two  months  dry;  whereas  the  Alderney 
cow  might  be  milked,  if  well  fed,  almost  to  the  last  week  before 
calving." 

He  also  says : 

"All  these  islands  agree,  however,  in  tethering  their  cattle  in 
the  enclosures,  let  the  latter  be  ever  so  small,  and  in  milking  their 
cows  three  times  each  day;  although  some  exceptions  to  this  rule 
may  be  seen,  for  the  Barrack-master,  William  Hanmer,  Esq.,  whose 
two  cows  are  among  the  best  of  the  island,  (Alderney),  had  his 
milked  only  twice  a  day.  The  two  cows  gave  17  quarts  of  milk  at 
each  milking;  these  were  not  tethered  but  were  changed  every  night 
and  morning  into  two  different  enclosures,  while,  on  the  contrary, 
perhaps  the  two  handsomest  cows  (one  of  which  had  gained  the 
governor's  prize)  belonging  to  W.  J.  Sandford,  Esq.,  produced  (he 
said)  each  10  pounds  of  butter  of  18  ounces  to  the  pound;  these  were 
staked  out,  and  milked  three  times  a  day.  Major  Martin  also  in- 
formed me  that  he  sold  to  the  governor  some  time  ago,  one  of  his 
cows,  which  produced  14  pounds  of  butter  per  week.  I  saw  this 
cow,  but  could  not  praise  it  for  its  beauty.  I  could  only  say,  'Hand- 
some is  that  handsome  does.'  The  major  also  said  that  one  of  his 
cows,  as  well  as  the  cow  of  Mr.  Sandford's,  graced  His  Majesty's 
Park  at  Windsor.  It  may  be  remarked  that  the  general  stock  of 
cows  and  young  cattle  appeared  not  to  have  been  well  fed." 

On  page  90,  regarding  the  cattle  of  the  Island  of  Sark, 
Jacob  says : 

"Their  horned  cattle  are  rather  larger  than  the  Alderney  sort, 
but  they  are  not  handsome;  neither  are  their  cows  particularly  famous 
for  milk,  or  butter:  a  fat  ox  has  been  known  to  reach  60  score,  or 
1,200  pounds,  but  the  average  weight  may  be  said  to  be  about  700 
pounds;  these  are  also  killed  in  Guernsey.  Their  horses  are  neither 
handsome  nor  large,  but  they  are  hard  workers." 

On    page    167,    discussing    the    cattle    on    the    Island    of 
Guernsey,  the  author  continues: 

"The  remarks  made  on  this  subject,  under  the  article  'Agriculture 
in  Alderney/  where  the  comparison  is  made  between  the  cows  of 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  35 

that  island  and  Guernsey,  will,  in  some  measure,  preclude  the  neces- 
sity of  entering  so  largely  here  upon  this  head.  Both  oxen  and  cows 
are  much  superior  in  size  to  those  of  either  Jersey,  Alderney,  or 
Sark.  The  ox,  of  the  largest  kind,  fattened  chiefly  upon  parsnips  and 
hay,  with  grass  in  the  summer,  has  been  known  to  have  attained  the 
weight  of  1,500  pounds,  or  75  score,  Guernsey  weight,  as  appears 
from  the  evidence  of  the  clerk  of  the  market  of  St.  Peter  Port,  where 
the  animals  have  been  slaughtered  and  weighed.  Quayle  says,  page 
280,  'those  of  1,200  pounds,  or  60  score,  appeared  not  unfrequently; 
in  general,  they  are  fine  animals,  and  commonly  worked  in  the  shafts, 
sometimes  singly,  sometimes  double,  with  one  or  more  horses  before 
them.  They  were  broken  in  early,  well  attended  to,  very  powerful, 
very  docile  draft  cattle,  and  used  both  for  carting  and  ploughing.' 

"The  Guernsey  cows  are  infinitely  larger,  taller,  and  generally 
of  rather  a  darker  color,  than  those  which  usually  sell  in  England 
under  that  name:  These,  says  Jeremie  (page  190)  come  from  Jersey, 
and  may  be  had  much  cheaper;  the  Jersey  ox  seldom  or  never  weigh- 
ing above  1,100  pounds,  or  55  score.  Quayle  observes  that  the  ques- 
tion of  preference  is  stoutly  contested  by  both  islands.  Jeremie,  who 
is  a  Guernsey  man,  contends:  'If  price  be  considered  here,  as  on 
other  occasions,  the  criterion  of  value,  we  have  decidedly  the  ad- 
vantage; the  general  average  being  in  favor  of  the  Guernsey  farmer 
by  two  or  three  pounds  sterling  the  head.'  This  argument,  prima 
facie,  may  appear  to  be  conclusive;  but  it  does  not  follow  that  a 
large  cow  will  be  more  profitable  to  the  dairyman  than  a  smaller 
sort,  and  which  may  not  be  so  handsome,  but  which  costs  less,  re- 
quires less  food,  and  perhaps  may  produce  as  much  butter  or  cheese 
as  the  larger  one.  Billingsley's  Agricultural  Survey  o_f  Somersetshire 
will  explain  this:  'The  cows  of  this  district  'being  intended  chiefly  for 
cheesemaking,  the  profit  arising  is  in  proportion  to  the  quantity  and 
the  quality  of  the  milk:  size,  therefore,  is  not  attended  to;  but  prin- 
cipal regard  is  paid  to  the  breed  whence  she  sprung/  I  may  here 
add  that  upon  my  estate  in  Wales,  I  had,  among  many  others,  an 
Irish  cow,  which  did  not  cost  above  one-third  as  much  as  a  large 
Herefordshire  or  true  Glamorganshire;  yet  this  small  and  ugly  cow 
gave  at  least  a  third  more  milk  than  any  one  of  the  others.  Sir 
John  Sinclair,  in  his  Code  of  Agriculture,  page  84,  says:  'Small  cows, 
of  the  true  dairy  breeds,  give  proportionably  more  milk  than  larger 
ones.'  It  is,  therefore,  most  probably  the  difference  in  the  size  of 
the  animal  which  may  cause  it  to  bring  a  higher  price  than  either 
the  Jersey  or  Alderney  cow,  and  not  the  intrinsic  merit  of  the  animal 
itself,  for  the  purpose  of  the  dairy  only.  Mr.  Jeremie  himself  says 
(page  191)  'that  a  Jersey  cow  will  probably  produce  the  same  quan- 
tity of  milk,  but  it  will  be  much  inferior  in  richness;  and,  therefore, 
Guernsey  butter  has  invariably  borne  the  palm.'  By  offering  the 
above  sentiments  I  by  no  means  wish  to  disparage  the  Guernsey 
cows,  for  they  are  most  excellent;  neither  do  I  desire  to  enter  into 
the  contest,  or  to  give  an  opinion  which  animal  is  best  for  exporta- 
tion to  England.  This  must  depend  on  the  taste  of  the  English.  If 
a  gentleman  or  a  dairvman  prefer  a  fine,  handsome,  and  large  cow 
to  a  smaller  one,  he  will  come  to  Guernsey  for  it;  if  he  should  choose 
a  smaller  sort  he  will  go  to  Jersey  or  Alderney.  Good  Guernsey 
cows  sell  now  from  £14  to  £15  each;  but  the  beauty  and  quality  of 
the  animal  often  make  a  difference  of  some  pounds  in  the  price.  A 


36  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

cow  is  judged  by  the  mellow  feeling  of  the  hide;  by  the  deep,  yellow 
circle  round  the  eyes;  the  tip  of  the  tail,  and  the  inside  of  the  ears 
should  also  be  yellow.  The  states  of  the  island  allow  the  agricultural 
society  £60  per  annum  to  be  bestowed  in  premiums  for  improve- 
ment of  their  cattle. 

"Mr.  Jeremie  is  certainly  very  right  when  he  says:  'The  fattest 
cows  are  seldom  the  best  milchers,'  for  this  is  invariably  the  case; 
'and  the  best  milchers  will  not  always  produce  the  largest  quantity 
of  butter.'  'A  gentleman,'  adds  the  same  author,  'mentioned  an  in- 
stance of  one  of  his  cows  furnishing  18  quarts  of  milk  each  day; 
another  gave  only  12  quarts,  and  yet  they  both  produced  the  same 
quantity  of  butter,  viz.,  one  pound  and  a  half  a  day.'  Instances  can 
be  well  substantiated  of  cows  giving  15  pounds  of  butter  per  week; 
one,  says'  he,  belonging  to  a  friend  of  mine,  calved  in  the  month  of 
March;  he  kept  the  calf  nine  days,  sold  it  then  for  18  shillings;  in 
the  course  of  two  months  from  the  day  of  her  calving,  besides  feeding 
the  calf  and  60  quarts  of  milk,  she  gave  100  pounds  of  butter.  But 
the  general  quantity  of  'milk  and  butter,  including  young  and  old 
cows,  and  in  summer  and  in  winter,  is  rather  more  than  365  pounds 
in  the  year,  being  equal  to  one  pound  of  butter,  or  eight  quarts  of 
milk,  the  supposed  general  average  in  the  24  hours.'  Three  vergees 
and  a  half  (about  one  acre  and  three-fourths,  English)  of  good 
ground,  are  considered  sufficient  for  each  cow.  In  Somersetshire, 
B'illingsley  says  (page  144),  'from  three  to  four  acres  of  land  will 
keep  a  cow  throughout  the  year.'  It  may  be  asked:  Does  this  dif- 
ference arise  from  the  superiority  of  climate,  the  excellency  or  dif- 
ference in  the  cattle,  or  from  the  mode  of  management  in  Guernsey; 
namely,  'that  of  the  cows  being  staked  by  the  horns,  by  means  of 
an  iron  or  wooden  stake  attached  to  a  halter  about  12  feet  in  length? 
[Rather  a  long  halter. — C.  L.  H.]  In  this  manner  it  is  removed 
four  or  five  times  a  day,  and  allowed  a  fresh  range  from  two  to  five 
feet  each  time,  which  causes  them  to  eat  the  grass  off  remarkably 
clean.'  This,  together  with  being  constantly  led  to  and  from  water, 
is  the  cause  of  their  being  very  docile.  The  cows  here  are  in- 
variably milked  three  times  a  day  in  their  flush.  In  order  that  the 
reader  may  be  informed  of  the  true  number  of  the  different  sorts  of 
horned  cattle,  which  have  been  exported  from  the  three  islands  of 
Jersey,  Guernsey  and  Alderney,  for  the  past  six  years,  the  following 
export  table,  has  been  procured  by  a  friend,  upon  the  authority  of 
which  the  public  may  rely. 

"Subjoined  is  a  summary  of  the  table  of  cattle  exported  from  the 
different  islands:

Total  export  from  Jersey,  1822  to  1828  132  8,029

"In  the  various  parts  of  England  the  old-fashioned  upright  churn 
is  still  made  use  of;  in  other  parts  the  barrel  churn  is  the  only  one 
used;  while  in  some  places  the  veritable  patent  churn  has  been 
adopted.  In  Somersetshire  Jhe  common  mode  is  to  use  no  machine 
at  all;  the  cream  alone  is  put  into  a  deep  earthen  vessel,  or  crock, 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  37 

and  with  the  hand  they  turn  it  about  till  the  butter  comes;  this  plan 
generally  brings  it  sooner  than  any  other;  sometimes  they  scald  the 
milk  in  the  first  instance,  then,  taking  off  the  clotted  cream,  it  is 
thus  churned  into  butter.  In  Devonshire  the  milk  is  always  so  scalded 
before  it  is  churned,  and  the  Devonshire  'butter  may  vie  with  any 
in  Great  Britain.  The  churn  generally  used  in  Guernsey  is  the  up- 
right, old-fashioned  one;  and  here  they  churn  the  milk  with  the  cream, 
and  generally  on  the  third  day;  it  is  commonly  put  into  the  churn 
over  night,  and  when  it  becomes  curdled  it  is  churned,  and,  in  con- 
sequence of  the  acidity  of  the  milk,  the  butter  comes  quicker,  and 
perhaps  cannot  be  excelled  in  any  part  of  the  world.  *  *  *  It  may  be 
observed  here  that  no  cheese  is  made  in  Guernsey.  Before  we  take 
leave  of  the  subject  of  cattle,  I  would  remark  that  the  manner  of 
weighing  the  slaughtered  cattle  at  the  market  is  not  by  the  carcass  or 
quarters  of  beef,  as  in  England,  but  with  the  whole  loose  fat,  skin, 
and  head.  An  ox,  not  long  since  thus  weighed,  produced  a  total  of 
1,601  pounds,  or  80  score;  but  the  loose  fat  and  skin  weighed  300 
pounds,  or  15  score;  the  neat  carcass,  therefore,  produced  65  score, 
which  is  certainly  a  large  ox.  Great  attention  is  paid,  by  the  con- 
stituted authorities  of  this  island,  to  the  improvement  of  the  breed 
of  cattle,  not  only  by  giving  small  premiums,  as  before  mentioned, 
but  also  by  enacting  laws  to  prevent  the  possibility  of  their  becoming 
degenerated.  An  Englishman  might  perhaps  be  led  to  imagine  that 
it  is  contrary  to  the  true  spirit  of  liberty  not  to  be  able  to  choose 
the  sort  he  may  like  best;  but  when  it  is  considered  that  t!he  honor 
of  the  island  is  at  stake,  and  that,  were  a  free  intercourse  to  take 
place  with  France,  French  cows  would  in  great  numbers  be  brought 
into  the  island,  and  exported  to  England  under  the  name  of  Guernsey 
cows,  when  they  were  only  French  ones;  by  which  means  the  present 
lucrative  trade  of  Guernsey  cows  would  be  soon  abolished,  the  con- 
stituted authorities  have,  therefore,  acted  most  judiciously  in  enacting 
the  following  law,  which  I  shall  here  translate  for  the  benefit  of  the 
English  reader: 

"  'Ordinance  of  the  17th  February,  1824,  Before  Daniel  De  Lisle  Brock, 
Esq.,  Present,  Etc.— At  the  Royal  Court. 

"  'Upon  information  given  to  the  court,  that  there  had  been 
introduced  into  this  island  heifers  from  France,  whose  age  and 
condition  render  them  unfit  to  be  butchered  within  four  months, 
fixed  by  law — other  circumstances  also  having  given  reason  to  believe 
that  the  intention  is  either  to  keep  them  for  cows,  and  by  that  means 
to  degenerate  the  breed,  which  the  inhabitants  of  this  island  have 
more  and  more  endeavored  to  improve;  or  else  for  the  purpose  of 
fraudulently  exporting  the  same  into  England,  which  in  either  case 
would  prove  a  fatal  blow  to  that  branch  of  industry;  namely,  ex- 
porting our  cows  to  England — upon  hearing  the  conclusion  of  the  at- 
torney-general, the  court  has  ordered  that,  provisionally,  and  until 
necessary,  steps  are  taken  to  preclude  all  sorts  of  French  cows  from 
being  imported  into  this  island  from  France,  it  is  hereby  forbidden, 
after  the  10th  of  March  next,  to  any  person  to  import  from  France, 
or  elsewhere,  any  heifer,  of  what  kind  soever  it  may  be,  under  penalty 
of  confiscation  of  the  same,  and  a  fine  at  discretion  of  justice,  not 
exceeding  £10  sterling  per  heifer  so  brought  into  the  island;  as 
well  to  be  paid  by  the.  master  of  the  vessel  bringing  the  same,  as 


38  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

by  the  owner  of  the  heifer  so  brought,  or,  in  default,  thereof,  by 
person  in  possession  of  the  same.  And  all  masters  of  vessels,  or 
boats,  bringing  cattle  from  France  shall  be  bound  to  render  an  ac- 
count thereof,  within  24  hours  after  their  arrival,  to  the  constable 
where  the  cattle  are  so  landed,  as  well  as  to  furnish  a  list  of  those 
who  are  the  proprietors,  as  well  as  of  those  to  whom  the  respective 
cattle  are  consigned,  under  a  penalty  of  a  fine,  at  the  discretion  of 
justice,  not  exceeding  £5  sterling.  And  the  constables  are  hereby 
ordered  to  keep  a  register  of  the  cattle  so  landed  in  their  respective 
parishes;  and  all  the  fines  shall  be  applied,  one-fourth  to  his  Majesty, 
one-fourth  to  the  poor,  and  half  to  the  informer.

"'Depute  Greffier  du  Roi.' " 

In  Youatt's  book,  "Cattle,  Their  Breed,  Management, 
and  Diseases,"  published  in  1834,  on  page  266,  under  the  head- 
ing "Foreign  Breeds  of  Cattle,"  we  read  as  follows: 

"First  among  them — and  a  regular  importation  of  which  is  kept 
up — we  have  the  Normandy,  or  Alderney  cattle.  The  Normandy  cattle 
are  imported  from  the  French  continent,  and  are  larger  and  have  a 
superior  tendency  to  fatten;  and  others  are  from  the  islands  on  the 
French  coast;  but  all  of  them,  whether  from  the  continent  or  the 
islands,  pass  under  the  common  name  of  Alderneys. 

"Except  in  Hampshire,  they  are  found  only  in  gentlemen's  parks 
and  pleasure-grounds,  and  they  maintain  their  occupancy  there  partly 
on  account  of  the  richness  of  their  milk,  and  the  great  quantity  of 
butter  which  it  yields,  but  more  from  the  diminutive  size  of  the 
animals.  Their  real  ugliness  is  passed  over  on  these  accounts;  and 
it  is  thought  fashionable  that  the  view  from  the  breakfast  or  drawing 
room  of  the  house  should  present  an  Alderney  cow  or  two  grazing 
at  a  little  distance. 

"John  Lawrence  describes  them  as  'light  red,  yellow,  dun  or 
fawn-coloured;  short,  wild-horned,  deer-necked,  thin  and  small-boned, 
irregularly  but  often  very  awkwardly  shaped.' 

"Mr.  Parkinson,  who  seems  to  have  a  determined  prejudice 
against  them,  says  that  'their  size  is  small,  and  they  are  of  as  bad  a 
form  as  can  possibly  be  described;  the  bellies  of  many  of  them  are  four- 
fifths  of  their  weight;  the  neck  is  very  thin  and  hollow;  the  shoulder 
stands  up,  and  is  the  highest  part;  they  are  hollow  and  narrow  be- 
hind the  shoulders;  the  chine  is  nearly  without  flesh;  the  hucks  are 
narrow  and  sharp  at  the  ends;  the  rump  is  short,  and  they  are  narrow 
and  light  in  the  brisket.'  This  is  about  as  bad  a  form  as  can  pos- 
sibly be  described,  and  the  picture  is  very  little  exaggerated,  when 
the  animal  is  analyzed  point  by  point;  yet  all  these  defects  are  so 
put  together  as  to  make  a  not  unpleasing  whole. 

"The  Alderney,  considering  its  voracious  appetite — for  it  devours 
almost  as  much  as  a  Shorthorn — yields  very  little  milk.  That  milk, 
however,  is  of  an  extraordinarily  excellent  quality  and  gives  mor^ 
butter  than  can  be  obtained  from  the  milk  of  any  other  cow.  Of 
this  no  one  can  doubt  who  has  possessed  any  Alderney  cows.  Some 
writers  on  agricultural  subjects  have,  however,  denied  it.  The  milk 
of  the  Alderney  cow  fits  her  for  the  situation  in  which  she  is  usually 
placed,  and  where  the  excellence  of  the  article  is  regarded,  and  not 
the  expense:  but  it  is  not  rich  enough,  yielding  the  small  quantity 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  39 

that  she  does,  to  pay  for  what  she  costs.  On  the  coast  of  Hampshire 
there  is  great  facility  in  obtaining  the  Alderney  cattle,  and  they  are 
great  favourites  there.  We  must  refer  our  readers  to  the  'Description 
of  Hampshire,'  page  215,  for  the  manner  in  which  they  have  estab- 
lished themselves  in  that  part  of  the  country,  and  the  various  ways 
in  which  other  breeds  have  been  crossed  by  them. 

"One  excellence,  it  must  be  acknowledged,  that  the  Alderneys 
possess:  when  they  are  dried,  they  fatten  with  a  rapidity  that  would 
be  scarcely  thought  possible  from  their  gaunt  appearance,  and  their 
want  of  almost  every  grazing  point,  while  living.  The  Duke  of  Bed- 
ford exhibited  a  French  ox  at  the  Smithneld  cattle  show,  in  1802, 
whose  four  quarters  weighed  95  stone  3  pounds  and  the  fat  17  stones 
3  pounds,  Smithneld  weight." 

On  page  215,  under  "Cattle  in  Hampshire,"  Youatt  says; 

"Hither  also  the  Longhorns  penetrated,  and  were  the  prevailing 
breed,  but  they  may  be  said  to  have  perfectly  disappeared.  They 
have  given  way  to  the  Devons,  and  indeed  to  breeds  of  every  sort, 
and,  more  particularly  near  the  coast,  to  the  Alderney,  or  smaller 
breed  of  Norman  cows.  About  Southampton,  the  Alderney  is  the 
prevalent  breed.  *  *  *  There  are  many  facilities  for  obtaining  her 
from  the  contiguous  islands  of  Guernsey  and  Jersey.  In  this  part  of 
the  county  the  Alderney  has  been  crossed  with  the  forest  breed,  and 
also  with  the  Suffolk.  The  forester  has  improved,  and  the  Norman 
deteriorated  in  consequence  of  the  first  cross,  and  the  second  has 
been  attended  with  doubtful  success.  Next  to  the  Alderneys,  the 
Suffolks  are  most  in  favour  on  the  coast  of  Hampshire. 

"Mr.  Gawler,  in  his  'Report  of  a  North  Hampshire  Farm'  (Far- 
mer's Series,  No.  VII..,  page  15),  states  that  'the  stock  in  general 
best  adapted  to  this  soil  are  the  Alderney,  and  the  smaller  race  of 
Norman  cows.  The  Devonshire  and  larger  breeds  require  richer 
pasture;  and,  although  they  may  be  kept  in  condition,  the  milk  they 
give  is  by  no  means  in  proportion  to  the  bulk  of  food  they  consume. 
Mr.  Gawler's  dairy  stock  was  in  the  proportion  of  one  cow  of  the 
Devonshire  breed  to  three  of  the  Alderney  or  Norman,  and  the 
milk  was  mixed  on  the  presumption  that,  being  thus  diluted,  it  pro- 
duced better  butter,  and  a  larger  quantity  of  it.' 

"Sir  Richard  Simeon  has  favoured  us  with  a  description  of  the 
cattle  in  the  Isle  of  Wight.  They  are  a  small  mixed  kind  without 
any  of  those  peculiarities  which  would  mark  them  as  distinct  breeds. 
Scarcely  any  oxen  are  bred  from  them.  Cow  calves  are  saved  for 
the  purpose  of  keeping  up  the  dairy,  invariably  from  the  best  milkers, 
and  not  with  any  view  to  their  aptitude  to  fatten. 

"The  dairy  stock  has  been  occasionally  mixed  with  the  Guernseys 
or  Alderney  cattle,  and  with  success  so  far  as  the  quantity  and 
quality  of  milk  go.  Some  attempts  have  been  made  to  introduce 
the  Shorthorns,  and  in  some  instances  the  cattle  of  the  island  have 
been  improved  in  size  and  appearance;  but,  looking  to  the  general 
capabilities  of  the  island  for  the  maintenance  of  large  stock,  and 
fitting  them  for  the  purpose  of  the  butcher,  it  may  be  doubtful  whether 
the  smaller  and  rougher  kind  of  cattle  may  not  be  a  safer  description 
of  stock,  and  likely  to  produce  a  better  result  to  the  farmer.  The 
Alderney  is  a  favorite  breed.  A  cross  between  the  Devon  has  pro- 
duced some  very  good  cows  here,  well  adapted  for  the  dairy,  and 
not  unprofitable  for  the  butcher. 


40  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

"The  value  of  the  Isle  of  Wight  cattle  depends  almost  exclusively 
upon  their  being  good  milkers:  for  the  purpose  of  the  butcher,  many 
of  them  are  of  little  value,  on  account  of  the  generally  received 
opinion,  that  a  cow  which  has  an  aptitude  to  fatten  is  a  bad  milker. 
The  farmers  rarely  breed  from  a  cow  which  has  good  points  for 
grazing." 

It  will  be  noted  that  in  both  of  these  quotations  the 
cattle  from  the  Channel  Islands  are  classed  with  the  cattle 
of  the  Norman  coast  and  are  spoken  of  as  Norman. 

In  another  history  of  the  island,  published  in  1830,  the 
only  reference  to  the  cattle  of  the  islands  is  this :  "The  cattle 
of  the  islands  are  Normans  and  are  noted  for  their  rich  yel- 
low milk." 

In  a  little  guide  to  the  islands,  published  in  1840  and 
called  "The  Privileged  Islands,"  on  page  14,  the  writer  makes 
mention  of  the  cattle  on  the  Island  of  Alderney  as  follows : 

"The  Alderney  cow,  so  famed  all  over  the  United  Kingdom.  I 
have  been  told  in  the  other  islands  that  in  this  island  alone  I  should 
find  the  true  breed,  black  and  white:  but  I  did  not  find  that  the 
Alderney  people  adopt  this  criterion  of  purity  of  breed;  red  and 
white,  and  brown  and  white  I  found  equally  common;  and  the 
best  specimens  I  saw  were  of  a  white  and  reddish  chocolate  colour. 
The  natives  look  more  to  the  short,  curved  horns  and  prominent, 
sparkling  eyes  than  to  the  colour.  I  found  it,  however,  generally 
admitted  that  there  is  but  very  little  distinction  between  the  Alderney 
cow  and  the  best  specimens  of  the  Jersey  and  Guernsey." 

This  bare  mention  is  all  the  author  gives  of  the  cattle  of 
the  Islands  of  Jersey  and  Guernsey. 

The  following  is  from  the  Guernsey  and  Jersey  Magazine, 
Vol.  V.,  1831,  page  269,  republished  from  Penny  Magazine, 
September  2,  1837,  on  "Guernsey,  Sark,  Herm,  and  Jethou." 

"Alderney  has  given  name  to  the  beautiful  little  cattle  of  the 
Channel  Islands,  and  of  which  their  natives  are  so  proud.  Special 
laws,  both  in  Jersey  and  Guernsey,  protect  the  purity  of  the  breed. 
The  importation  of  foreign  cattle  is  strictly  prohibited  under  heavy 
penalties;  and  there  is  considerable  rivalry  between  Guernsey  and 
Jersey  as  to  which  produces  the  best  and  purest  specimen  of  the 
Alderney  cow.  The  greater  number  of  Alderney  cows  known  in 
England  are  exported  from  Jersey;  but  a  Guernsey  farmer  would 
not  admit  a  Jersey  cow  upon  his  grounds. 

"The  prevailing  opinion  seems  to  be  that  the  Guernsey  breed  is 
really  better  than  the  Jersey:  and  the  Guernsey  butter,  which  is 
better  than  that  of  Jersey  (both  are  excellent)  is  appealed  to  in 
support  of  the  opinion.  Yet,  as  is  very  natural,  the  people  of  Alderney 
affirm  that  their  cow  can  only  be  produced,  in  all  of  its  handsomeness 
of  figure  and  excellence  of  quality,  on  its  own  native  island,  and  that 
the  Guernsey  and  Jersey  are  deteriorations.  Some  judges  are  of  this 
opinion;  and  it  is  stated  that  the  Alderney  cow  can  only  be  dis- 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  41 

tinguished  from  those  of  the  neighboring  island  by  being  remarkably 
small  and  straight  of  back,  with  prominent  sparkling  eyes." 
Quayle,  writing  in  1812,  states : 

"The  treasure  highest  in  a  Jerseyman's  estimation  is  his  cow. 
She  seems  to  be  a  constant  object  of  his  thoughts  and  attention,  and 
that  attention  she  certainly  deserves.  In  the  summer  she  is  staked 
to  the  ground,  but  her  position  is  shifted  five  or  six  times  a  day. 
In  winter  she  is  warmly  housed  and  fed  with  the  precious  parsnip. 
When  she  calves  she  is  regaled  with  toast  and  cider,  the  nectar  of 
the  island,  to  which  powdered  ginger  is  added." 
Regarding  the  origin,  he  says : 

"The  breed  was  derived  from  the  contiguous  continential  coagt, 
yet  it  is  not  known  that  in  any  part  the  same  breed  is  preserved  in 
equal  purity." 

Regarding  the  color,  Quayle  writes : 

"The  colour  here  is  commonly  red  or  white,  occasionally  what 
is  called  cream  coloured,  or  that  colour  mixed  with  white.  Some- 
times they  are  black  or  black  and  white  like  the  northwest  high- 
landers  are  black,  with  a  dingy,  brown-red  ridge  on  the  back  and 
about  the  nostrils  of  the  same  colour.  They  have  all  a  good  pile, 
generally  thin-skinned,  and  fatten  soon.  If  in  any  point  they  are 
universally  deficient  it  is  in  being  narrow  in  the  haunch." 

Writing  in  1834,  H.  D.  Inglis  is  quoted  by  Mr.  Thornton 
as  having  stated  that  greater  attention  had  been  bestowed  on 
the  cattle  of  Guernsey  than  of  Jersey,  and  his  notions  of  the 
Alderney  were  disappointing.  "I  found  it,  however,"  he  said, 
"everywhere  admitted  that  there  is  little  distinction  between 
the  Alderney  and  best  specimens  of  Jersey  cattle.  The  Guern- 
sey cow,  though  of  the  same  breed,  is  a  large  animal." 

Mr.  Thornton,  in  his  article  in  the  Royal  Agricultural 
Journal,  Vol.  17,  published  in  1881,  gives  the  following  par- 
ticulars regarding  first  impressions  of  the  Jersey  breed  in  Eng- 
land: 

"Having  thus  endeavored  to  show  the  manner  by  which  the 
island  breeders  improved  their  native  cattle,  it  is  necessary  to  show 
the  progress  which  the  breed  has  made  in  this  country  during  the 
present  century.  As  far  back  as  1794  an  experiment  was  tried  in 
Kent  between  a  large,  home-bred  cow,  doubtless  a  Suffolk,  eight 
years  old,  and  an  Alderney,  two  years  old. 

"The  cow  in  seven  days  gave  35  gallons  of  milk,  which  made 
10^  pounds  of  butter;  the  Alderney,  14  gallons,  which  made  6l/> 
pounds,  or  more  than  double  the  amount  of  ounces  of  butter  to  the 
gallon  of  milk.  In  writing  the  history  of  the  Jersey  cow  in  this 
country,  it  is  difficult  to  distinguish  between  the  Jersey  and  the 
Guernsey,  and  even  the  Brittany;  for  all  the  Channel  Islands  cattle 
bore  the  common  name  of  Alderney,  an  island  that  supplies  a  very 
small  number  (scarcely  100  annually)  and  whose  breed  now,  by  the 
use  of  Guernsey  bulls,  has  become  larger  and  coarser  than  the  fine, 
deer-like  Jersey. 


42  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

"The  difference,  too,  between  the  Jersey  and  the  Guernsey  has 
become  very  much  more  marked  of  late  years,  both  in  size  and  colour, 
and  particularly  of  the  head,  horns,  and  nose.  The  Jersey  is  the 
smaller  animal,  finer  in  its  limbs,  neater  in  its  frame,  and  more 
thoroughbred  looking  in  its  appearance.  The  eye  is  bright,  black, 
often  with  a  white  rim,  and  the  muzzle  intensely  black,  also  with  a 
light-coloured  rim  round  it.  This  is  one  of  the  most  striking  dif- 
ferences between  the  Jersey  and  Guernsey,  the  latter  having  usually 
a  flesh-coloured  or  stained  nose,  and  a  lightish  yellow  and  white  body, 
being  also  larger  of  stature  and  coarser  of  limb.  The  yield  of  milk, 
too,  is  larger  in  the  Guernsey,  yet  there  is  little,  if  any,  difference  in 
the  yield  of  butter;  indeed,  some  contend  that  the  Jersey  will  yield 
more  butter  and  is  a  smaller  consumer  of  food.  Be  this  as  it  may, 
there  is  no  question  as  to  the  Guernsey  giving  the  larger  yield  of 
milk;  and  when  large  yields  are  spoken  of  as  coming  from  an  Alderney 
cow,  it  is  more  often  found  to  be  from  a  Guernsey  than  a  Jersey. 
Guernsey  cows  have  occasionally  been  taken  into  Jersey;  but  crosses 
between  the  breeds  have  not  been  successful;  the  yellow  colour  and 
pink  nose  usually  crop  up  in  the  offspring,  which  retains  a  coarseness 
at  once  detected  and  rejected  by  the  island  judges." 

The  following  notes,  taken  from  Vol.  I  of  the  Herd  Reg- 
ister of  the  American  Jersey  Cattle  Club,  published  in  1872, 
will  be  of  interest: 

"The  Alderney  cow  has  been  held  in  high  repute  as  a  producer 
of  cream  and  butter  ever  since  the  days  when  Tabitha  Bramble  wrote, 
in  1771,  to  Mrs.  Gwyllim,  housekeeper  at  Brambleton  Hall:  'I  am 
astonished  that  Mr.  Lewis  should  take  upon  him  to  give  away  Alder- 
ney without  my  privity  and  concurrants.  *  *  Alderney  gave 
four  gallons  a  day  ever  since  the  calf  was  sent  to  the  market.' " 

In  1844  Col.  Le  Couteur,  the  Queen's  Aide-de-Camp  in 
Jersey,  contributed  to  the  Royal  Agricultural  Society  of  Eng- 
land an  essay  on  "The  Jersey,  misnamed  Alderney,  Cow," 
which  is  here  copied,  nearly  entire,  from  the  Society's  Journal, 
Vol.  V.,  page  43. 

"The  breed  of  cattle  familiarly  known  throughout  Great  Britain 
as  the  Alderney,  and  correctly  termed,  in  the  article  'Cattle/  of  the 
'Library  of  Useful  Knowledge,'  'the  crumpled  horned,'  was  originally 
Norman,  it  is  conceived,  as  cows  very  similar  to  them  in  form  and 
color  are  to  be  seen  in  various  parts  of  Normandy,  and  Brittany 
also;  but  the  difference  in  their  milking  and  creaming  qualities  is 
really  astonishing,  the  Jersey  cow  producing  nearly  double  the  quan- 
tity of  butter. 

"The  race  is  miscalled  'Alderney'  as  far  as  Jersey  is  in  question: 
for,  about  70  years  since,  Mr.  Dumaresq,  of  St.  Peter's,  afterwards 
the  chief  magistrate,  sent  some  of  the  best  Jersey  cows  to  his  father- 
in-law,  the  then  proprietor  of  Alderney;  so  that  the  Jersey  was, 
already  at  that  period,  an  improved,  and  superior  to  the  Alderney, 
race.  It  has  since  been  vastly  amended  in  form,  and  generally  so 
in  various  qualities,  though  the  best  of  those  recorded  at  that  period 
gave  as  much  milk  and  butter  as  the  best  may  do  now. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  43 

"Ten  years  have  elapsed  since  the  attempt  was  first  made  by  fixed 
rules  to  improve  the  form  and  quality  of  the  Jersey  cow.  A  few 
gentlemen,  presided  over  by  the  then  lieutenant-governor,  Major- 
General  Thornton,  selected  two  beautiful  cows,  with  the  best  qual- 
ities, as  models.  One  of  these  was  held  to  be  perfect  in  her  barrel 
and  fore-quarters,  the  other  equally  so  in  her  hind-quarters.  From 
these  two  the  following  points  were  laid  down  to  be  the  rule  for 
governing  the  judges  in  all  the  cattle  shows  of  the  Jersey  Agricultural 
Society." 

The  scale  of  points  referred  to  will  be  found  in  Chapter 
III. 

A  large  part  of  Col.  Le  Couteur's  report  can  be  found  in 
Vol.  I  of  the  herd  book  of  the  American  Jersey  Cattle  Club. 

The  following  letter,  received  from  Col.  Le  Couteur  in 
response  to  enquiries  by  the  American  Jersey  Cattle  Club,  will 
also  be  of  interest : 

"B<elle  Vue,  Jersey,  Sept.  14,  1869. 

"Dear  Sir: — I  fear  that  my  absence  from  Jersey  will  render  this 
letter  of  no  avail  to  you  for  the  publication  of  your  Jersey  Herd 
B'ook,  spoken  of  in  your  letter  to  me  of  the  30th  of  June,  last. 

"I  have  only  experience  to  add  to  anything  I  may  have  written 
iji  my  essay  on  the  Jersey  cow  in  the  Journal  of  the  Royal  Agricul- 
tural Society  of  England  in  1844,  which  has  reappeared  in  the  Trans- 
actions of  the  New  York  State  Agricultural  Society  of  1850. 

"Our  farmers  have  not  the  singular  variety  of  ideas  as  to  the 
appearance  and  character  of  our  breed  which  you  describe  to  prevail 
among  the  members  of  your  club.  Our  breed  is  believed  to  be  a 
local  pure  breed,  its  original  milking  and  butyraceous  qualities  having 
been  improved,  more  than  three-quarters  of  a  century  back,  by  care- 
fully crossing  in  the  line:  in  that  view,  then,  without  much  regard  to 
beauty  of  form.  Later,  since  the  formation  of  our  present  society, 
of  which  I  was  the  first  honorary  secretary  in  1834,  great  attention 
has  been  constantly  paid  to  combine  beauty  of  form  with  butter- 
producing  habits. 

"The  outline  history  of  our  breed  is  this:  In  the  year  1789  the 
Jersey  cow  was  already  considered  so  good,  so  superior  to  any  then 
known,  I  imagine,  that  an  act  of  our  local  legislature  (which  for 
such  ends  is  quite  independent  of  the  British  Parliament)  was  passed, 
by  which  the  importation  into  Jersey  of  cow,  heifer,  calf  or  bull  was 
prohibited,  under  the  penalty  of  200  livres,  with  the  forfeiture  of 
boat  and  tackle,  besides  a  fine  of  50  livres  to  be  imposed  on  every 
sailor  on  board  who  did  not  inform  of  the  attempt  at  importation. 
Moreover,  the  animal  was  decreed  to  be  immediately  slaughtered, 
and  its  flesh  given  to  the  poor.  Later  laws  are  equally  stringent; 
no  foreign  horned  cattle  are  ever  allowed  to  come  to  Jersey  but 
as  butcher's  meat. 

"Guernsey  cattle  are  not  deemed  foreign,  but  there  are  scarcely 
ever  a  dozen  of  that  breed  in  our  island.  They  are  of  larger  bone 
and  carcass,  considered  to  be  coarse,  though  famous  milkers,  re- 
quiring much  more  food  than  the  Jersey.  Our  judges  at  our  cattle 
shows  have  discarded  both  them  and  their  progeny. 

"Those   enterprising  American  farmers  who  have  visited  Jersey 


44  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

and  have  found  a  marked  difference  to  exist  between  the  cattle  of 
the  eastern  district  and  those  of  the  western  district,  being  cursory 
visitors,  may  not  have  been  aware  of  what  I  am  to  state.  I  believe 
the  type  to  be  the  same.  The  difference  in  appearance  is  thus  ac- 
counted for:  The  north  and  northwest  coast  of  Jersey  is  high  and 
precipitous,  a  bold  syenite  rock,  rising  200  and  more  feet  from  the 
level  of  the  sea.  Its  nearest  shelter  in  a  westerly  or  southwesterly 
direction  is  the  island  of  Newfoundland,  on  the  British-American 
shore.  Southwest  gales  prevail  here  nine  months  out  of  the  12. 
While  I  am  writing  a  hurricane  from  the  southwest  has  burst  over 
us  and  burned  all  the  exposed  trees  like  a  flame;  it  has  ruined  scores 
of  orchards  and  gardens,  leveled  many  trees,  leaving  the  pastures 
like  damaged  hay.  Hence  this  elevated  coast  has  usually  a  short, 
scant,  rich,  nutritious  herbage,  from  being  so  frequently  saturated 
with  saline  moisture.  Thus  the  cattle  on  this  side  are  small,  fine- 
limbed,  and  hardy. 

"The  southward  half  of  Jersey  may  be  called  an  inclined  plane, 
gradually  and  beautifully  slanting  to  the  sea-shore,  watered  by  in- 
numerable streams.  A  part  of  it  is  a  rich  alluvial  soil  and  meadow 
land  so  sheltered  and  warmed  as  to  produce  fruit  and  vegetables  a 
fortnight  or  three  weeks  sooner  than  in  my  neighborhood.  The  cattle 
of  this  district  are,  consequently,  fed  on  a  richer  pasture.  They  are 
larger  in  carcass,  some  think  handsomer,  than  those  of  the  upland. 
I  consider  them  to  be  more  delicate. 

"The  late  Earl  Spencer,  and  former  president  of  the  Royal  Agri- 
cultural Society  of  England,  an  able  and  worthy  contemporary  of 
Bates,  Booth  and  other  noted  Shorthorn  breeders,  had  a  fine  little 
herd  of  Jerseys.  When  on  a  visit  to  him  at  Althorp,  in  1839,  he 
strongly  advised  me  to  recommend  our  farmers  never  to  venture  on 
a  foreign  cross,  nor  with  Shorthorns  or  Devons;  merely  to  cross  the 
cows  of  the  low,  rich  pastures  with  the  hardy  bulls  of  the  exposed 
northern  coasts,  and  vice  versa.  We  had  established  a  character 
in  our  cows  for  creaming  and  milking  habits  peculiar  to  our  crumpled- 
horned  race  to  hold  to,  by  which  means  alone  our  breed  might  con- 
tinue as  renowned  in  the  next  century  as  it  has  been  in  the  present 
one.  Many  have  held  to  that  sound  advice. 

"I   shall  be  much  honoured  by  receiving  a   copy   of  your  Jersey 
Herd  book,  and  shall,  moreover,  feel  much  gratified  if  what  I   have 
written  shall  prove  interesting  or  useful  to  you.     Believe  me  to  be, 
"Very  truly  yours,

The  following  extract,  also  taken  from  the  American 
Jersey  Cattle  Club  Field  Book,  Vol.  I,  written  by  Dr.  L.  H. 
Twaddell,  who  visited  the  Channel  Islands,  in  1865,  will  be 
of  interest : 

"Three  thousand  Jersey  cows  and  heifers  and  about  1,200  Guern- 
seys are  exported  from  the  islands  every  year. 

"The  Jersey  cow  is  of  a  medium  size.  Her  peculiar,  deer-like 
aspect  distinguishes  her  from  the  Guernsey.  Her  head  is  long  and 
slender,  the  muzzle  fine,  and  usually  encircled  with  a  lighter  color; 
the  nose  is  black,  and  the  large,  dreamy  eyes  encircled  with  a  black 
band;  occasionally  the  nose  is  of  a  buff  color,  when  there  is  a  cor- 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  45 

responding  buff  band  around  the   eye;   the  horns  are   usually  short, 
small  at  the  base,  tapering,  and  tipped  with  black. 

"The  Jerseys  are  of  all  shades  of  color,  from  a  pale  yellow  fawn, 
running  through  all  the  intermediate  hues,  even  occasionally  to  a 
red,  an  intermixture  of  black  or  gray,  known  as  French  gray,  and 
that  merging  into  black  with  an  amber-colored  band  along  the  back, 
the  muzzle  invariably  shaded  with  a  lighter  color;  and  individuals 
are  often  seen  black  and  white,  or  pure  black,  unrelieved  by  any 
other  color. 

"A  yellow  brindle'is  sometimes  seen,  but  this  is  by  no  means  a 
favorite. 

"The  bulls  are  slaughtered  at  three  years  old;  the  opinion  pre- 
vails there  that  the  offspring  of  young  bulls  have  most  vigor  and 
stamina. 

"The  Guernsey  is  a  larger  animal,  coarser  in  the  head  and  heavier 
in  bone;  the  horns  are  longer  and  thicker  at  the  base,  not  usually 
crumpled;  the  rump  is  more  apt  to  assume  that  peculiar  droop  which 
seems  a  characteristic  of  the  breed,  and  there  is  a  want  of  that 
symmetry  and  neatness  of  form  that  mark  the  highly  bred  Jersey, 
but  as  a  dairy  cow  she  is  fully  her  equal;  for  quality  of*  milk  and 
butter  she  cannot  be  excelled;  the  skin  is  of  a  splendid,  rich,  yellow 
hue,  and  the  udder  and  teats  are  tinted  with  chrome. 

"The  head  of  the  Guernsey  is  larger,  the  muzzle  broader,  and 
the  eye  not  so  prominent  as  the  Jersey;  the  nose  is  usually  of  a  rich 
yellow  or  buff;  the  eye  banded  with  tho  same  color. 

"The  colors  of  the  Guernsey  are  fawn,  running  through  the 
various  shades  to  a  deep  red,  an  amber  brown  and  a  peculiar  yellow 
brindle,  which  is  a  favorite  here. 

"Although  larger  than  the  Jersey,  I  do  not  think  they  fatten 
quite  as  kindly  as  the  latter,  which  has  the  advantage  of  a  smoother 
and  more  rotund  form. 

"This  thinness  and  want  of  condition  may  be  owing  in  a  great 
degree  to  the  fact  that  the  pasturage  is  less  luxuriant  in  Guernsey, 
and  also  that  the  Guernseymen  are  less  solicitous  about  the  figure 
and  style  of  their  animals,  being  satisfied  if  the  animal  is  a  per- 
former at  the  pail — where  she  seldom  disappoints. 

"The  cattle  of  the  Island  of  Alderney  (which  is  the  third  in  size 
of  the  Channel  group)  have  a  want  of  uniformity,  attributable  to  the 
fact  that  they  are  the  offspring  of  stock  brought  from  Jersey  and 
Guernsey,  crossed  and  re-crossed  until  all  individuality  as  a  breed  is 
lost. 

"Some  are  neat  and  deer-like;  others  are  larger  and  heavier,  ap- 
proaching the  Guernsey  type. 

"The  island  being  small  and  rocky,  the  pasturage  scanty,  very 
few  cattle  are  bred,  and,  as  a  consequence,  the  breed  does  not  re- 
ceive the  care  and  attention  that  is  given  on  the  other  islands. 

"It  is  as  a  dairy  animal  that  the  Channel  Islands  cow  puts  forth 
her  claim  for  consideration." 

The  following  quotation  is  from  the  same  source : 

"The  early  importations  of  Jersey  cattle  into  this  country  are 
most  difficult  to  trace.  The  animals  were  then  called  Alderneys,  and 
the  same  name  was  given  to  Guernsey  cattle  of  which  a  goodly 
number  were  brought  over,  and  they  seem  to  have  been  inter-bred 
somewhat  indiscriminately. 


46 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


"In  September,  1840,  three  Alderney  cows  were  purchased  by 
the  late  Nicholas  Biddle.  They  were  imported  from  the  Island  of 
Guernsey  and  brought  to  the  port  of  New  York  in  the  schooner 
Pilot,  Captain  Beleir.  They  turned  out  to  be  remarkably  fine  ani- 
mals. This  stock  crossed  by  later  importations,  is  maintained  in  its 
purity  at  Andalusia,  Bucks  county,  Pa.,  the  country  seat  of  Mr.  Biddle, 
and  still  in  possession  of  his  family. 

"The  earlier  importations  made  by  R.  L.  Colt,  of  Paterson,  N.  J., 
were  of  Guernsey  animals,  or  at  least  there  were  Guernsey  animals 
among  them.  About  15  years  ago  he  became  satisfied  of  the  su- 
periority of.  the  Jersey  stock  and  disposed  of  his  Guernseys  and  made 
fresh  importations.  It  has  been  alleged  that  the  importations  made 
by  Mr.  Gushing,  of  Watertown,  Mass.,  were  in  part  Guernseys;  but 
this  has  been  authoritatively  denied,  and  the  Gushing  herd  has  been 
proven  to  be  of  pure  Jersey  stock.  The  Guernsey  animals  in  these 
earlier  importations  have  been  a  source  of  great  annoyance  to  the 
committee  in  passing  upon  animals  offered  for  entry.  In  many  in- 
stances fine  animals,  carefully  bred,  and  believed  by  their  owners

would  again  liken  her  to  the   Guernsey. 

to  be  pure  Jersey  have  had  to  be  rejected  because  remotely  tracing 
to  the  Biddle  or  the  earlier  Gushing  importations.  Their  rejection 
was,  of  course,  no  criticism  on  their  quality." 

All  of  these  quotations  go  to  prove  that  the  marked  dif- 
ference between  the  Guernsey  and  Jersey  of  today  is  largely 
due  to  their  improvement  along  somewhat  different  lines  since

1870.  It  is  very  evident  also  that  but  slight  attention  was  paid 
by  the  farmers  of  the  islands  to  differences  in  the  cattle  from 
another  of  the  islands.  In  searching-  for  information  that  would 
throw  light  upon  the  time  when  a  distinction  began  to  be 
drawn  between  the  two  breeds  I  was  reminded  of  the  story 
told  of  an  old  woman  who,  when  she  heard  some  Daughters 
of  the  American  Revolution  talking  about  their  pedigrees,  said : 
"There's  a  whole  lot  of  people  who  had  better  not  study  their 
pedigrees :  they  may  find  something  that  they  do  not  want 
to  know."  But  it  is  very  evident  that,  while,  as  a  matter  of 
local  pride,  there  was  not  an  extensive  admixture  of  the  cattle 
from  one  island  to  the  other,  and,  while  there  were  laws  pro- 
hibiting the  importation  of  foreign  cattle,  the  cattle  of  any 
one  of  the  Channel  Islands  were  not  considered  foreign  on 
any  of  the  other  islands. 


Black  and  white  cow  on  Alderney. 

I  have  found  plenty  of  references  to  the  taking  of  cattle 
from  both  Guernsey  and  Jersey  to  Alderney  and  from  both 
Guernsey  and  Alderney  to  Jersey,  and,  while  I  do  not  find 
any  direct  reference  to  the  taking  of  cattle  from  Jersey  to 
Guernsey,  it  is  very  certain,  from  the  color  of  many  of  the 
cattle  on  the  Island  of  Guernsey,  that  there  must  have  been 
an  admixture  of  Jersey  blood  not  many  generations  ago.  As 


48 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


recent  as  1913  I  saw  in  Guernsey  two  registered  cows,  both 
daughters  of  the  well  known  Fanny's  Sequel,  that  were  Jersey 
in  type  and  were  solid,  dingy  black  with  black  noses  and 
tails.  Plenty  of  Jersey  cows  also  show  the  Guernsey  type  of 
color  so  plainly  that,  even  if  no  more  positive  evidence  were 
available,  no  one  could  reasonably  doubt  for  a  moment  that 
there  had  been  in  comparatively  recent  years  an  exchange  of 
cattle  from  one  island  to  another  and  that,  within  a  century, 
and  probably  within  60  or  70  years,  the  islanders  themselves 
considered  the  cattle  of  the  different  islands  one  and  the  same 
breed. 

In  1871  there  was  held  on  the  Island  of  Jersey  a  Chan- 
nel Islands  Exposition.,  and  a  few  cattle  were  taken  over  from 
Guernsey  to  Jersey  for  that  show.  P.  Mahy,  of  the  Landes 
du  Marche,  Vale,  took  over  the  bull  Fair  Lad  7,  F.  S.,  the 
bull  that  won  the  Prix  Douglas  at  the  Whitsuntide  Show, 
Guernsey,  that  year.  He  was  awarded  first  prize  in  the  Guern- 
sey class  at  the  exposition.  Mr.  Nicholle,  a  breeder  of  Jersey, 
was  so  impressed  with  the  opportunity  he  saw  to  improve 
the  cattle  on  that  island  that  he  tried  to  induce  Mr.  Mahy 
to  leave  Fair  Lad  on  that  island  for  two  months,  offering  to 
keep  the  bull  free  of  charge  and  to  pay  £1  per  cow  service 
fee.  This  Mr.  Mahy  refused  to  do.  This  statement  is  vouched

Cows  as  they   are  tethered  in   Normandy. 


for  by  T.  H.  Mahy,  a  son  of  P.  Mahy,  who  himself  cared  for 
the  bull  and  showed  him  on  Jersey  at  the  exposition. 

T.  H.  Mahy  is  now  a  breeder  of  the  well  knawn  Bel  Air 
family.  It  is  of  interest  here  to  note  also  that  with  the  bull, 
Fair  Lad,  he  showed  the  heifer,  Queen  of  the  Field,  which  he 
tells  me  was  one  of  the  first  animals  of  the  now  well  known 
Jessie  family. 

I  have  been  told  many  times  that  the  present  cattle  of 
Normandy  were  very  similar  in  color  and  form  to  the  Jerseys, 
but  on  a  visit  in  1912  to  the  northern  part  of  Normandy  in 
the  vicinity  of  Cherbourg  I  saw  no  cattle  that  in  form  or  color 
looked  like  Guernseys.  They  were  larger,  coarser,  and  nearly 
all  black  or  brown  in  color,  with  white  heads.  The  accompany- 
ing illustrations  are  of  typical  cows  as  I  saw  them  in  that  dis- 
trict, and  of  a  herd  tethered  in  the  fields. 

There  is  a  celebrated  painting  in  the  Tate  Gallery,  Lon- 
don, done  in  1820  by  the  well  known  English  animal  painter, 
James  Ward,  1769-1859,  that  is  deserving  of  our  study.  The 
picture  is  called  "Protection,"  and  is  now  labeled  "An  Al- 
derney  Bull,  Cow  and  Calf."  The  bull  is  decidedly  brindle 
and  spotted  with  white,  with  a  white,  spotted  face  and  black 
nose.  The  cow  is  yellow  in  color,  one-half  to  two-thirds 
white,  and  a  buff  nose.  The  calf  is  white  with  quite  a  black, 
mottled  nose.  The  cow  has  medium  large  teats.  Both  have

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


medium,  up-standing  horns,  and  the  bull  is  very  heavy  in 
the  shoulders  and  light  in  the  hind  quarters. 

There  are  numerous  other  pictures  in  existence,  80  to 
125  years  old,  purporting  to  represent  so-called  Alderney 
cows,  these  show  animals  varying  in  color  from  light  yellow 
through  shades  of  fawn,  brown,  and  brindle  to  black.  This 
is  additional  proof  that  there  was,  only  a  few  years  ago,  much 
less  difference  in  the  breeds  of  cattle  on  the  several  islands 
than  writers  have  ordinarily  led  us  to  believe.  We  are  re- 
minded, too,  that  cattle  in  a  particular  district  will  vary  greatly 
in  color  in  a  few  generations. 

There  are  several  pictures  in  the  National  Gallery,  Lon- 
don, by  the  Holland  artist,  Guyp,  a  celebrated  artist  of  the 
15th  century.  Certain  animals  in  several  different  pictures 
of  his  show  a  similarity  that  suggests  they  were  all  painted 
from  a  sketch  he  has  made  of  a  cow  in  the  field.  Several 
animals  represented  are  fawn,  or  fawn  and  white,  or  brown 
and  white.  Their  colors  and  form  would  indicate  that  they 
were  similar  to  the  cattle  of  the  Channel  Islands  as  seen  in 
the  earliest  pictures  and  descriptions  that  we  have  of  them. 
This  means,  if  it  means  anything,  that  the  cattle  of  Holland 
and  the  Channel  Islands  had  probably  a  common  origin  not 
many  centuries  ago. 

The  question  of  the  origin  of  the  breed  is  not  nearly  so

interesting  and  important  as  the  question  of  the  men  who 
first  conceived  the  idea  of  breeding  and  developing  a  strain 
of  cattle  to  produce  milk,  cream  and  butter  of  a  golden  yellow 
color,  which  we  find  most  highly  emphasized  in  the  Guernsey, 
and  which  appears  to  a  more  limited  extent  in  the  Jersey. 

It  is  very  evident  from  the  scale  of  points  to  be  given 
in  Chapter  III,  that  the  yellow  skin  which  denotes  highly 
colored  produce,  was  prized  as  early  as  1850.  Just  when  the 
islanders  began  to  prize  this  'trait  and  when  particular  meas- 
ures were  used  to  preserve  and  improve  it  are  unknown. 


CHAPTER  III. 

Development  of  the  Breed  on  the  Island 
The  Island  Scale  of  Points 

The  real  development  of  the  breed  on  the  Island,  as  far 
as  we  have  any  history  of  it,  dates  from  the  passage  of  the 
laws  against  the1  importation  of  foreign  cattle  quoted  in  Chap- 
ter II.  The  figures  giving  the  number  of  animals  exported 
during  different  periods  of  time  show  that  nearly  a  century 
ago  the  Guernsey  farmer  had  a  lucrative  cattle  trade  with 
England.  As  the  English  buyer  demanded  an  animal  with  a 
more  finished  form,  the  records  show  that  as  early  as  1830  a 
scale  of  points  had  already  been  drawn  up  with  the  end  in 
view  of  making  the  breed  more  symmetrical.  It  was  used  as 
a  basis  of  comparison  for  awarding  the  prizes  at  the  various 
shows. 

The  records  also  inform  us  that  as  early  as  1830  the 
Guernsey  farmers  talked  of  a  cow  that  would  give  15  pounds 
of  butter  in  a  week ;  so  it  is  evident  that  she  was  considered 
most  from  a  dairy  standpoint  all  through  the  years  of  her 
development,  but,  nevertheless,  some  attention  was  paid  to 
the  beef  quality  of  the  breed,  especially  of  the  bullocks. 

Jeremie,  writing  about  1828,  says :  "There  are  certain 
points  of  excellence  which  receive  the  reward.  The  following 
points  are  the  standard  by  which  the  judges  determine: 

Points 
"1.  Pedigree  as  well  of  the  bull  as  of  the  cow,  yellow  ears,  tail, 

and  good  udder  7 

"2.  General  appearance,  handsome  color,  cream,  light  red,  or 

both  mixed  with  white  3 

"3.  Handsome  head,  well  horned,  and'  bright  and  prominent  eye..  4 

"4.  Deep  barrel-shaped  body 3 

"5.  Good  hind  quarter  and  straight  back  2 

"6.  Handsome  legs  and  small  bone  1 

"Total  good,  or  points  of  excellence  20" 

In  the  report  of  the  Royal  Agricultural  Society  of  Guern- 
sey, published  in  1842,  plans  are  given  for  the  promotion  of 
the  agricultural  and  live  stock  interests  of  the  island,  by  the 
following  scales  of  points  for  the  scoring  of  bulls  and  cows:

Two  points  will  be  deducted  from  those  required  by  the  scale 
for  heifers,  seeing  that  the  milk  veins  are  not  so  well  pronounced'. 
Thus  a  heifer  will  be  counted  at  28  points. 

The  following  quotation  from  the  Agricultural  Survey 
of  Jersey,  No.  3,  page  308,  written  by  Col.  Le  Couteur  and 
published  between  1830  and  1840,  is  of  interest  as  showing 
what  was  being  done  along  the  same  lines  in  Jersey  at  this 
time: 

"Another  most  important  benefit  conferred  on  the  island  by  the

ment  in  the  form  of  the  cattle.  The  peculiar  defect  of  the  Jersey  or 
Alderney  breed',  which  is  the  same,  or  nearly  so,  Mr.  Dumaresq  of 
St.  Peter  Port,  more  than  half  a  century  since  having  sent  some 
(A.  D.  1780)  handsome  stock  from  Jersey  to  the  then  Governor  of 
Alderney,  his  father-in-law,  to  improve  the  Alderney  breed  in  the 
hind  quarters,  which  are  narrow  and  fall  off  from  the  straight  line 
near  the  tail,  or  cat  hammed;  but  since  the  introduction  of  points, 
which  I  may  be  pardoned'  for  stating  here,  the  defect  has  strikingly 
disappeared,  and  the  beauty  and  value  of  the  cattle  proportionately 
increased.

"Two  points  should  be  deducted  from  the  number  required  for 
perfection  for  heifers  as  their  udder  and  milk  veins  cannot  be  fully 
developed.  A  heifer  shall  be  considered  perfect  at  25  points. 

"No  prize  should  be  awarded  to  cows  and  heifers  having  less 
than  21  points. 

"Three  more  points  are  recommended  to  be  added  for  general 
appearance,  size,  and  condition,  which  will  yet  increase  the  merits 
of  the  cows.  The  chief  advantages  in  specifying  points  have  been  to 
make  the  farmers  perceive  what  were  the  defects  in  their  own  cows, 
and  to  constitute  most  of  them  as  good  judges  as  the  cattle  dealers 
themselves." 

These  early  scales  of  points  were  doubtless  revised  from 
time  to  time.  In  1882  the  following  scale  for  cows  only  was 
published  in  Vol.  1  of  the  herd  book  of  the  Royal  Guernsey

The  color  of  the  nose  in  no  way  denotes  intrinsic  merit  in  the 
animal,  nor  does  it  denote  impurity  of  breed.  The  buff  nose  is  fash- 
ionable in  the  show  ring,  but  it  is  safe  to  say  that  this  fashion  has 
not  been  helpful  to  the  Guernsey  breed'.  As  in  the  past,  it  is  well 
known  that  many  of  the  brindles  and  dark  cows  have  been  among  the 
very  best  animals. 


Cattle   being  loaded   for   exportation,    Guernsey. 

From  1881  to  1886  there  was  an  excellent  demand  for 
cattle  to  be  brought  to  America,  but  following  that  there  was 
a  period  of  great  depression  on  the  islands,  for,  from  the  year 
1899  to  1903,  only  800  pedigree  cows  were  registered.  In  the 
introduction  to  Vol.  XII.  of  the  Herd  Book  published  in  1903, 
the  following  is  offered  by  way  of  explanation : 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


59 


"Cultivation  under  glass,  and  the  bulb  culture  have  developed 
exceedingly  within  the  last  few  years,  and  these,  with  the  produce 
industry,  have  considerably  encroached  on  the  land  area  of  the  island, 
already  too  limited.  Consequently,  it  is  not  surprising  that  the  stable 
has  been  neglected  and'  the  breeding  interest  has  suffered  for  a  time. 
We  say  'for  a  time'  advisedly,  for,  as  we  have  pointed  out,  there  are 
hopeful  signs  of  a  sound  and'  beneficial  revival  in  the  breeding  inter- 
est. No  doubt  this  is  due  in  a  measure  also  to  the  fact  which  ex- 
perience has  taught,  the  comparative  certainty  in  breeding  against  the 
always  existing  uncertainty  of  glass  or  market  produce,  as  well  as 
the  uncertain  fluctuations  in  market  prices." 

U. 


Churning. 

Since  that  time,  however,  the  glass-house  industry  has  in- 
creased from  year  to  year,  and  at  the  same  time  there  are 
more  cattle  on  the  island  now  than  ever  before.  Commencing 
with  the  year  1904,  exportation  to  America  began  to  increase 
and  there  has  been  a  steady  growth  until  the  present,  when 
from  600  to  1,000  animals  are  now  exported  each  year. 

The  cattle  on  the  island  are  kept  mostly  in  herds  of  from 
three  to  six  cows,  though  at  the  present  time  two  or  three 


60  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

breeders  have  each  as  many  as  50  or  60  head,  young  and  old, 
and  H.  M,.  Ozanne,  of  Lily  vale,  at  one  time  had  upward  of 
100  head. 

The  calves  are  taken  from  the  cows  when  they  are  from 
a  few  hours  to  three  or  four  days  old,  and  are  fed  the  new  milk 
for  two  or  three  weeks.  The  fresh  cows  are  nearly  always 
milked  three  times  a  day  and  the  calves  are  then  fed  three 
times  a  day.  A  few  farmers  have  cream  separators  and  thus 
have  warm  skimmed-milk  to  feed  their  calves.  But  most  of 
them  still  follow  the  method  that  has  evidently  been  in  vogue 
for  generations,  of  souring  and  churning  the  whole-milk.  Then 
the  calves  are  fed  the  butter-milk,  which  naturally  is  thinner 
than  butter-milk  from  churned  cream. 

The  calves  are  early  tethered  out-of-doors,  and  it  is  to 
this  out-of-door  life  that  we  must  seemingly  attribute  the 
health  and  vigor  of  the  island  cattle. 

The  butter  is  nearly  all  made  into  small,  round  prints 
and  sold  to  private  customers  in  St.  Peter  Port.  It  is  also 
commonly  on  display  in  the  public  market,  where  it  is  usually 
offered  for  sale  in  prints  of  from  one  to  one  and  one-half 
pounds,  placed  in  the  center  of  a  large  cabbage  leaf.  It  was 
the  butter  thus  displayed  in  the  markets  that  first  attracted 
the  attention  of  visitors  from  England  and  America  to  the 
island's  breed  of  cows.  For  some  reason  a  marked  difference 
may  be  noticed  in  the  color  of  the  butter  from  different  herds 
of  the  island.  Some  farmers'  wives  always  bring  very  yellow 
butter  to  market,  while  others  offer  a  much  paler  product. 
Many  who  do  not  realize  how  dense  the  population  of  the 
island  is  often  ask  where  the  islanders  market  their  butter, 
thinking  that  a  large  surplus  must  be  shipped  away.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  not  nearly  enough  is  produced  for  home  con- 
sumption, for  one  may  see  displayed  in  the  market  windows 
butter  from  Jersey,  France,  England  and  Denmark,  and  not 
butter  only  but  large  quantities  of  margarine  as  well.  The 
prevailing  price  of  Guernsey  butter  is  50c  per  pound,  while 
the  imported  butter  sells  for  5  or  lOc  less,  the  price  of  the 
latter  fluctuating  with  the  English  market.  Milk  is  sold  at 
retail  for  8c  per  quart. 

It  is  instructive  to  go  through  the  market  building,  where 
30  or  40  stalls  are  used  for  the  display  and  sale  of  meat,  and 
observe  the  marked  difference  in  the  color  of  the  fat  of  the 
local  beef  as  compared  with  the  beef  imported  from  America 
and  the  Argentine. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  61 

A  strange  fact  came  to  my  notice  at  my  last  visit,  that 
when  butchers  on  Jersey  slaughter  an  animal  with  particularly 
yellow  fat  they  send  the  meat  over  to  be  sold  in  Guernsey. 
This  bears  out  the  oft-repeated  assertion  that  often  an  indi- 
vidual Jersey  will  yield  butter  as  yellow  as  that  of  any  Guern- 
sey. But  this  is  not  universal  for  the  Jersey  breed,  whereas 
Guernsey  butter  is  always  yellow,  and  the  Guernsey  people 
have  learned  to  prefer  beef  with  yellow  fat.  They  know  that 
yellow  fat  is  not  an  indication  of  an  old  animal,  which  is  a 
popular  misconception  in  our  country.  I  have  eaten  some 
most  excellent  beef  in  Guernsey  from  native  cattle.  Many 
steers  are  fattened  and  butchered  for  the  Christmas  trade. 

Contagious  diseases  have  up  to  recent  years  been  compara- 
tively unknown  in  the  Channel  Islands.  There  was  at  least 
one  serious  outbreak  of  foot  and  mouth  disease  many  years 
ago,  but  it  was  entirely  stamped  out  and  there  has  never  been 
a  recurrence  of  it. 

No  case  of  tuberculosis  has  ever  been  known  among  the 
cattle  of  Alderney  and  never  a  reaction  to  the  tuberculin  test 
from  any  of  the  several  hundred  head  imported  from  there. 
The  same  was  true  of  Guernsey  up  to  a  few  years  ago,  and 
our  government  made  an  exception  of  the  Channel  Islands 
in  the  laws  requiring  that  every  animal  coming  into  the  coun- 
try must  pass  the  tuberculin  test,  either  before  shipment  or 
before  being  released  from  quarantine  on  this  side. 

In  1905  or  1906,  one  or  two  cases  of  tuberculosis  devel- 
oped in  American  herds  in  animals  that  had  been  recently  im- 
ported from  Guernsey,  and  these  were  traced  back  to  an  island 
herd  whose  owner  had  secured  special  permission  from  the 
Royal  Court  of  the  island  to  allow  him  to  take  animals  from 
his  herd  to  England  for  exhibition  purposes,  a  privilege  that 
had  been  accorded  other  breeders.  This  special  permission 
was  required  because  of  the  law  forbidding  the  return  of  any 
animal  taken  off  the  island.  Our  government  at  once  applied 
the  tuberculin  test  law  to  the  cattle  coming  from  Guernsey 
and  Alderney,  the  same  being  in  force  until  the  spring  of  1914, 
when  Alderney  cattle  were  again  exempted  from  the  test. 

Before  rigid  measures  were  taken  to  stamp  out  the  dis- 
ease in  Guernsey  it  had  spread  by  sale  of  stock  to  several  other 
herds  of  the  island.  Each  succeeding  year  the  authorities 
thought  they  had  discovered  the  last  case,  but  would  find 
others  in  some  new  herd,  every  case  'being  traced  back  to  the 
cattle  of  the  first  diseased  herd. 


62 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  authorities  will  shortly  apply 
the  tuberculin  test  to  every  animal  on  the  island,  and  if  this 
were  done  twice  and  disinfectants  intelligently  used,  I  think 
the  disease  could  be  entirely  stamped  out.  I  confidently  expect 
to  see  the  scourge  again  banished  from  Guernsey. 

As  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  discover,  there  is  no  con- 
tagious abortion  or  other  serious  cattle  disease  aside  from  tu- 
berculosis on  the  Channel  Islands.  This  happy  circumstance 
should  continue,  because  of  the  isolation  of  the  islands,  to- 
gether with  the  marked  improvement  in  the  care  of  cattle. 

Records  do  not  seem  to  tell  when  the  first  public  shows 
were  held  on  the  island,  but  it  was  certainly  as  far  back  as 
1842.  The  Royal  Guernsey  Agricultural  and  Horticultural

Society  have  records  of  the  animals  winning  at  these  shows 
since  1852.  To  this  system  of  shows  must  be  given  a  large 
part  of  the  credit  for  the  development  of  the  breed  along 
present  lines  of  symmetry. 

For  this  reason,  even  at  the  risk  of  making  this  book 
somewhat  cumbersome,  it  seems  appropriate  to  include  the 
roll  of  prize  winners  at  the  island  shows  since  1878,  the  earliest 
date  that  the  records  of  the  society  show  the  names  of  both 
animals  and  owners.  In  Vol.  1  of  the  Herd  Book  of  this 
Society,  issued  in  1882,  are  the  records  of  a  few  animals  shown

The  regular  annual  show  conducted  by  the  Royal  Guern-

of  Whitsuntide,  and  a  second  show  for  bulls  only  was  held  at 
Michaelmas.  Later  shows  have  been  held  especially  for  the 
awarding  of  the  queen's  prize  and  later  for  the  king's  cup. 
A  second  regular  show  has  since  1911  been  held  in  August 
of  each  year.  A  few  years  ago  an  association  was  organized 
called  The  Guernsey  Farmers'  Association,  and  they  too  hold 
a  regular  summer  show. 

On  the  Island  of  Jersey  shows  are  held  in  each  parish, 
but  no  attempt  to  hold  a  parish  show  had  been  made  on  the 
Island  of  Guernsey  until  the  fall  of  1913,  when  a  very  success- 
ful show  was  held  in  St.  Saviour's.

On  Guernsey  at  a  special  animal  show  the  King  of  Eng- 
land offers  cups  for  the  two  best  bulls  and  a  cup  for  the  best 
cow.  On  Alderney  the  king  offers  cups  for  the  best  bull  and 
the  best  cow,  which  are  awarded  at  the  annual  summer  show. 
On  Sark  a  king's  cup  is  awarded  to  the  'best  animal  at  their 
annual  show. 

An  animal  may  win  the  king's  cup  but  once.  Thus  in 
the  above  list  of  prizes  Governor  of  the  Chene,  for  example, 
won  the  king's  cup  in  July,  1907,  and,  though  he  won  first 
prize  again  in  August,  1913,  the  king's  cup  was  awarded  to 
Raymond's  Pearl  King.  These  cups  are,  of  course,  much  cov- 
eted, not  only  because  they  indicate  that  the  animal  won  first 
prize  but  also  because  they  represent  the  interest  of  His  Maje- 
sty in  their  shows.

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


The  first  interest  in  a  herd  book  was  manifested  in  1876, 
when  a  few  gentlemen  proposed  a  book  in  which  the  entries 
should  be  limited  to  animals  in  which  they  were  interested. 
A  list  of  some  170  animals  was  published  in,  1879  under  the 
name  of  "The  Guernsey  Herd  Book."  The  total  number  reg- 
istered by  them  was  36  bulls  and  297  cows  with  their  produce, 
selected  from  about  50  herds.  The  following  quotation  from 


?,:  y'^P'* 


Mabel  330,  F.   S.     1st  prize,  1909. 

the  introduction  to  Vol.  I.  of  the  Herd  Book  of  the  Royal 
Guernsey  Agricultural  Society  continues  the  history  of  the 
development  of  the  registry: 

"The  question  was  by  this  time  seriously  entertained  in  com- 
mittee whether  a  Herd  Book  ought  not  to  be  issued  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Royal  Guernsey  Agricultural  Society.  Then  the 
promoters  of  the  existing  registry  offered  to  hand  over  their  work 
to  the  society,  which,  after  careful  deliberation,  was  eventually  ac- 
cepted by  a  general  meeting  of  its  members.  It  was  also  decided 
that  all  bulls  and  milch  cows  that  had  been  awarded  prizes  by  the 
society  since  the  year  1877  should  be  added'  to  the  list  as  qualified 
stock.  At  subsequent  meetings  it  was  further  resolved — in  order 
that  no  really  good  specimens  may  be  excluded  from  the  registry — 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED

that  opportunities  of  admission  should  be  afforded  by  the  establish- 
ment of  local  shows  in  different  parts  of  the  island,  where  animals 
belonging  either  to  members  or  non-members  might  be  examined 
and,  if  qualified,  registered. 

"It  was  found  that  the  majority  of  qualified  cows  were  the  prog- 
eny of  bulls  that  had  been  awarded  prizes  by  the  society  prior  to  the 
period  from  which  the  registry  was  supposed  to  date,  amongst  which 
were  some  of  the  finest  strains  that  our  breed  has  ever  produced. 
These  have  been  incorporated  (Nos.  27  to  94),  thereby  enabling 
breeders  in  many  cases  to  trace  crosses  for  at  least  10  years." 


Nellie  III  762,   P.   S.— King's  Cup,   1909;   King's  Cup,   Reserve,   1907 


Among  the  by-laws  adopted  were  those  requiring  that 
"the  same  name  shall  not  be  given  to  more  than  one  animal 
except  with  a  prefix  or  suffix."  This  rule  has  never  been  en- 
forced, and  much  confusion  has  been  the  result. 

By-law  4  requires : 

"The  proprietors  of  Herd  Book  stock  shall,  within  24  hours  after 
the  calving  of  a  cow  or  heifer,  belonging  to  such  stock,  obtain  the 
attestation  of  a  member  of  the  Royal  Guernsey  Agricultural  Society 
to  a  certificate  proving  that  the  calf  is  the  offspring  of  such  cow  or 
heifer,  according  to  Form  A. 

"Any  person  detected  as  having  made  a  false  declaration,  or  hav- 
ing participated  therein,  shall  forfeit  the  advantages  of  the  Herd  Book, 
and  the  false  entry  shall  be  erased  therefrom." 

By-law  5  requires : 
"The   proprietors   of   qualified   bulls   shall   keep   a   correct   entry

Form  B,  and'  deliver  to  the  owner  of  each  animal  served  a  duplicate

More  or  less  jealousy  and  differences  of  opinion  seem  to 
have  existed  among  the  island  farmers,  as  a  result  of  which 
Part  1  of  the  "General  Herd  Book  of  the  Island  of  Guernsey" 
was  issued  in  1881,  and  this  rival  publication  was  kept  up  for 
about  15  years.  In  the  meantime  the  Herd  Book  of  the  Royal 
Guernsey  Agricultural  Society  gradually  increased  in  general

recognition,  not  only  on  the  island  itself  but  more  especially 
by  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club. 

The  preface  from  Vol.  I  of  the  "General  Herd  Book"  is 
well  worth  reading  because  of  references  to  purity  of  blood, 
color,  and  prizes.  It  is  as  follows : 

"A  few  words  are  necessary  to  explain  the  nature  and  object  of 
the  Herd  Book,  of  which  the  first  part  is  now  issued,  especially  in 
view  of  the  circumstance  that  another  publication  bearing  the  same 
name,  but  of  quite  different  character,  has  already  appeared. 

"The  purposes  of  a  Herd  Book  are,  firstly,  to  register  pure-bred 
stock,  and'  secondly,  by  recording  pedigrees,  to  enable  the  scientific 
breeder  to  follow  and  select  the  strains  of  blood  which  he  deems  most 
valuable.  In  carrying  out  this  design  in  the  leading  herd  books  of 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  97 

Great  Britain  and  America  it  is  left  to  the  owners  to  register  such 
animals  as  they  think  fit,  subject  only  to  the  condition  of  proving 
their  purity  of  breed. 

"But  in  the  Channel  Islands,  where  purity  of  blood  is  secured  by 
laws  prohibiting  importation  of  breeding  stock,  it  had  occurred  to 
some  persons  to  make  an  entirely  different  idea  form  the  basis  of  a 
Herd  Book.  Following  a  suggestion  which  was  first  started'  in  Jer- 
sey, a  few  gentlemen  in  Guernsey,  about  five  years  ago,  proposed  a 
Herd  Book  in  which  the  entries  were  to  be  limited  to  animals  which 
they  themselves  should  approve.  They  inserted  some  which  were 
already  dead,  and  took  for  their  standard  of  living  ones  their  own 
ideas  as  to  external  appearance,  together  with  the  'milk  test'  invented 
by  M.  Guenon,  a  Frenchman,  who  conceived  he  had  discovered  an 
infallible  criterion  of  the  quantity  of  milk  a  cow  would'  yield  in  the 
direction  of  certain  lines  of  hair  between  the  udder  and  the  root  of 
the  tail.  Of  this  discovery  it  is  sufficient  to  say  that,  whether  suc- 
cessful or  not  with  French  breeds,  it  is  proved  to  be  entirely  falla- 
cious when  applied  to  Guernsey  cows.  A  list  of  some  170  animals, 
made  up  on  these  principles,  was  published'  in  1879  under  the  name 
of  'The  Guernsey  Herd  Book,'  and  a  second  part  was  subsequently 
issued. 

"The  great  majority  of  Guernsey  farmers,  however,  held  aloof 
from  this  scheme;  and  dissatisfaction  with  the  results  of  the  judging 
caused'  some  of  its  first  supporters  to  leave  it.  In  1881  its  projectors 
offered  to  hand  it  over  to  the  Royal  Agricultural  and  Horticultural 
Society  of  the  Island.  That  body,  by  a  narrow  majority,  in  which 
a  number  of  persons  who  were  not  owners  of  stock  were  included, 
decided  to  take  over  the  publication  insofar  as  it  had'  already  pro- 
ceeded; to  add  to  it  its  own  show  prize  lists  of  the  two  preceding 
years;  and  to  carry  it  on  for  the  future  by  inserting  only  the  names 
of  such  animals  as  might  take  prizes  at  future  shows.  These  ex- 
ceed 100  in  each  year,  prizes  being  given  to  considerably  more  than 
half  of  the  number  exhibited.  But  still  further  to  augment  the  number 
to  be  inscribed  in  the  Herd  Book  as  winners  of  prizes,  it  was  re- 
solved to  hold  parish  shows,  at  which  no  money  prizes  should  be 
given,  but  every  animal  passed  by  the  judges  should  be  entitled'  to 
be  registered  in  the  Herd  Book  on  the  same  footing  as  if  it  had 
taken  a  prize  at  the  principal  show. 

"A  numerous  meeting  of  Guernsey  farmers,  held  immediately 
after  these  resolutions  were  passed,  expressed  their  dissatisfaction 
with  the  arrangements  thus  made.  It  was  felt  that,  while  they  low- 
ered, or  destroyed,  the  value  of  honors  gained  at  the  island  shows, 
they  still  subjected  any  Herd  Book  founded'  on  them  to  the  mischief 
involved  in  the  fact  that  selection  would  be  founded  on  mere  external 
appearance.  While  the  importance  of  this  element  was  fully  ad- 
mitted, it  was  considered  that,  in  the  case  of  a  breed'  of  which  the 
special  excellence  lies  in  the  quality  as  well  as  the  quantity  of  the 
milk,  exclusive  regard  to  external  points  was  not  merely  a  fallacious 
test,  but  one  likely  to  result  in  deterioration.  It  was  further  recog- 
nized that  many  of  the  most  careful  breeders  in  Guernsey  had  for 
this  very  reason  never  exhibited  at  the  annual  shows,  and  that  a  book 
which  should'  exclude  their  herds  would  be  no  fair  representative 
of  the  best  island  stock.  Instances  were  recalled  in  which,  both  by 
the  judges  for  the  herd  book  in  question  and  by  those  of  the  agri- 


98  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

cultural  society,  grave  errors  have  been  made  in  approving  good 
looking  animals  of  inferior  milking  quality  and  of  indifferent  breed, 
while  rejecting  others  which  in  all  essential  respects  were  superior. 
It  was  held  that  a  check  would  be  given  to  real  progress  if  the  judg- 
ment of  breeders  as  to  their  own  stock  were  to  be  superseded  by  that 
of  strangers,  and  if  admission  to  an  official  Herd  Book  was  made  to 
depend  on  conformity  to  the  fancies  of  a  few  individuals.  It  was, 
therefore,  resolved  that  any  such  method  of  selection  of  breeding 
stock  would  be  delusive  and  injurious,  and  that  the  best  course  was 
to  establish  a  general  Herd  Book  for  the  Island  of  Guernsey,  based 
simply  on  the  principles  on  which  those  of  Great  Britain  and  Amer- 
ica are  founded',  and,  therefore,  open  to  all  stock  which  might  be 
proved  to  possess  the  qualification  of  purity  of  race.  From  such  a 
register  it  was  believed  that  breeders  would  be  able  to  select  the 
strains  which  they  deemed  best  suited  to  their  purpose,  and  pur- 
chasers would  not  be  misled  by  any  alleged  superiority  beyond  what 
they  had  the  means  of  verifying.  Rules  for  the  formation  of  such  a 
Herd  Book  were  approved'  by  the  meeting,  and  a  committee  was  ap- 
pointed to  superintend  its  preparation.  The  first  part  is  now  sub- 
mitted to  the  public. 

"The  committee  will  only  ndd  that  the  experience,  even  of  the 
first  year,  has  shown  that  owners  do  not  enter  their  stock  indiscrim- 
inately, but  that  in  nearly  all  instances  they  limit  themselves  to  those 
which  they  consider  to  be  their  best.  If  the  pedigrees  given  are  short, 
it  does  not  indicate  that  care  has  not  been  bestowed  on  breeding 
hitherto,  but  arises  from  the  fact  that  it  has  not  been  customary  to 
keep  a  written  record.  So  also  the  notice  of  honors  obtained  by  the 
progenitors  is  frequently  omitted,  for  the  double  reason  that,  not 
being  greatly  esteemed,  no  note  has  been  preserved  of  them,  and  that, 
as  the  stock  exhibited  at  the  island  shows  have  not  been  even  distin- 
guished by  names  till  within  the  last  two  years,  it  would  not  be  possible 
to  ascertain  with  certainty  whether  honors  have  been  awarded  or 
not.  But  the  committee  feels  confident  that  the  Herd  Book  now 
inaugurated'  will  lead  to  the  general  preservation  of  more  accurate 
records  of  breeding,  and  to  the  fuller  recognition,  both  in  the  island 
and  elsewhere  of  the  value  of  strains  of  which  judicious  breeding  has 
already  in  numerous  instances  laid  the  foundation. 

"The  colors  of  the  Guernsey  breed  include  white,  red  and  black, 
in  any  mixture  and  shade,  except  roan,  no  instance  of  which  is 
known  to  have  occurred.  Brindle  is  not  uncommon,  the  nose  may 
be  either  white  or  black." 

The  volumes  of  this  "General  Herd  Book"  show  that  the 
work  was  incompletely  done,  and  without  doubt  more  rapid 
advancement  was  made  in  the  improvement  of  the  breed  when 
this  book  was  discontinued  and  all  the  effort  put  into  one 
book.  The  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  ceased  to  recog- 
nize the  General  Herd  Book  in  1902. 

Because  of  the  fact  that  no  card  index  or  other  alphabet- 
ical list  of  the  animals  registered  in  the  Herd  Book  was  kept, 
it  was  impossible  to  tell  whether  any  name  chosen  by  a  breeder 
for  a  calf  he  was  offering  to  register  had  previously  been 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  99 

used  or  not,  and  so  much  duplication  of  names  resulted.  Only 
as  recently  as  the  year  1914  have  the  records  on  the  island 
been  put  in  such  shape  that  duplication  of  names  will  not 
continue. 

Reference  is  made  in  the  quotation  from  the  Royal  Guern- 
sey Agricultural  Society  Herd  Book  to  the  establishment  of 
local  shows,  which  have  also  contributed  much  to  the  devel- 
opment of  the  breed  on  the  island.  The  plan  was  that  such 
cows  as  had  not  won  prizes  at  the  annual  island  shows,  and 
were,  therefore,  not  eligible  to  entry  in  the  Herd  Book  could 
be  shown  at  a  so-called  local  show,  and,  if  approved  by  the 
committee,  they  were  admitted  as  foundation  stock.  Such  local 
shows  are  held  as  often  as  there  is  a  demand  for  them,  and 
when  the  secretary  reports  such  a  call  the  herd  book  com- 
mittee advertises  two  weeks  in  advance  that  on  the  day  named 
and  at  a  certain  hour  they  will  be  at  each  of  several  points 
in  the  different  parishes,  usually  near  the  parish  church.  The 
farmers  then  bring  in  their  unregistered  cows  to  be  passed 
upon  by  the  cornmittee,  which,  if  approved,  are  admitted  as 
foundation  stock,  and  their  progeny  are  then  eligible  as  pedi- 
gree stock,  regardless  of  their  individual  merit. 

It  is  evident  from  the  first  volume  of  the  Royal  Guernsey 
Agricultural  Society  Herd  Book  that  the  first  local  show  was 
held  in  July,  1881,  and  at  that  show  40  cows  were  admitted 
to  the  Herd  Book.  From  that  time  until  the  local  show  of 
March  27,  1912,  the  animals  admitted  as  foundation  stock  were 
classified  as  "Commended,"  "Highly  Commended,"  and  "Very 
Highly  Commended,"  according  to  their  quality,  and  these 
terms  are  now  generally  indicated  in  pedigrees  or  elsewhere 
by  the  abbreviations  C,  H.  C,  and  V.  H.  C. 

Commencing  with  the  local  show  held  April  24,  1912,  all 
cows  are  admitted  and  marked  as  "qualified  at  local  show/' 
and  no  designation  is  made  as  to  difference  in  the  quality. 
From  the  very  first  no  females  were  admitted  as  foundation 
stock  except  cows  in  milk ;  and  a  rule  also  exists  that  if  the 
breeder  fails  to  comply  with  By-law  4,  which  requires  that  a 
calf  must  be  attested  by  a  member  of  the  Society  within  24 
hours  of  its  birth,  a  heifer  could  then  not  be  recorded  until  she 
became  a  cow,  when  she  must  be  entered  as  foundation  stock, 
although,  if  her  sire  and  dam  were  known,  they  were  published 
in  the  Herd  Book  the  same  as  pedigree  stock.  Up  to  March, 
1910,  By-law  4  was  not  always  complied  with,  and  consider- 
able dissatisfaction  resulted,  but  since  that  time  it  has  been 
rigidly  enforced. 


100  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

As  early  at  least  as  1883  an  appendix  to  the  General  Herd 
Book  was  added  for  Alderney-bred  cattle,  and  this  was  con- 
tinued to  as  late  as  1893.  A  total  of  40  cows  were  entered, 
but  nearly  all  of  these  were  cows  that  had  been  taken  to 
Guernsey.  The  Herd  Book  of  the  Royal  Guernsey  Agricul- 
tural Society  recognized  the  Alderney-bred  cows  at  once  and 
placed  them  in  their  registry  on  an  equal  footing  with  the 
others,  No.  100  being  an  Alderney-bred  cow.  Large  numbers 
of  cows  have  been  taken  from  Alderney  to  Guernsey  every 
year  since  there  began  to  be  an  export  demand  for  cattle  from 
Guernsey.  It  is  impossible  to  say  just  how  many  of  the  cattle 
entered  in  the  island  Herd  Book  are  Alderney-bred,  because 
many  of  the  foundation  stock  animals  were  entered  without

the  name  of  the  breeder,  and  some  of  them,  I  happen  to  know, 
were  Alderney-bred.  While  I  find  no  written  evidence,  it  is 
clear  that  Alderney-bred  cattle  were  in  the  beginning  admit- 
ted, whether  inadvertently  or  not,  to  the  registry  of  the  Am- 
erican Guernsey  Cattle  Club.  These  cattle  were  first  taken  to 
Guernsey  or  to  England  and  then  brought  to  this  country. 

M'any  years  ago  the  breeders  of  Alderney  started  a  herd 
book  of  their  own,  but  no  volume  was  ever  published.  Copy 
for  the  first  volume  was  sent  to  the  printers,  but  shortly  after 
the  printer  died  and  the  copy  was  lost.  This  work  was  taken 
up  again  in  1907,  and  in  1908  Volume  I  of  the  "Royal  Alder- 
ney Agricultural  Society  Herd  Book"  was  published.  In  1909 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  101 

agitation  was  started  to  unite  the  herd  books  of  the  two  is- 
lands, which  was  done  in  1910,  and  the  books  are  now  pub- 
lished as  "Herd  Book  of  the  Bailiwick  of  Guernsey,"  "Guern- 
sey Branch"  and  "Alderney  Branch." 

The  same  system  of  shows  is  followed  on  the  Island  of 
Alderney  as  on  Guernsey,  though  I  do  not  know  just  how 
long  such  shows  have  existed  there. 

The  cattle  on  the  Island  of  Sark  were  as  early  as  1883 
registered  in  the  General  Herd  Book ;  but,  like  the  Alderney 
bred  ones  registered  in  the  same  book,  it  was  only  such  ani- 
mals as  were  bred  on  Sark  and  taken  to  Guernsey.  The  Royal 
Guernsey  Agricultural  Society  from  the  first  recognized  the 

\

cattle  of  Sark  as  being  the  same  as  those  of  Guernsey.  They 
were  transferred  back  and  forth.  In  recent  years  an  annual 
show  has  been  maintained  on  Sark. 

Whoever  has  been  the  tenant  on  the  island  of  Herm  has 
maintained  a  herd  of  Guernseys  which  are  always  recorded 
in  the  Herd  Book  of  the  Royal  Agricultural  Society  of 
Guernsey. 

That  the  best  of  feeling  exists  among  the  Guernsey  breed- 
ers of  this  island  group  is  proven  by  the  fact  that  they  attend 
the  annual  shows  held  on  the  other  islands  and  often  act  as 
judges.  There  are  now  recorded  in  the  Herd  Book  of  the  Am- 
erican Guernsey  Cattle  Club  animals  that  have  been  bred  on 
each  of  these  islands  of  Guernsey,  Alderney,  Sark,  and  Herm. 
The  bulls  used  on  Sark  are  often  of  Guernsey  breeding,  but 
the  breeders  of  Guernsey  and  of  Alderney  use  native  bulls  only. 

One  of  the  things  that  has  without  doubt  contributed 


102  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

largely  to  the  improvement  of  the  breed  in  Guernsey  is  the 
fact  that  no  bull  is  allowed  to  stand  for  public  service  on  the 
island  until  he  is  15  months  old  and  has  been  taken  to  a  local 
show  with  his  mother  and  been  approved  by  the  Herd  Book 
committee.  The  only  exception  to  this  rule  is  made  when  the 
bull's  mother  is  dead  but  her  quality  known  by  the  prizes  she 
won  at  the  public  shows. 

As  the  islands  are  so  small,  no  breeder  on  the  Island  of 
Guernsey  would  have  to  lead  his  animals  more  than  three  or 
four  miles  to  exhibit  them  at  the  shows,  and  on  the  Islands 


Brilliant  of  the  Gree  2377,   P.   S.      King's   Cup,   1911. 

of  Alderney  and  Sark,  not  more  than  two  miles.  It  is,  there- 
fore, a  very  easy  matter  for  the  farmers  to  exhibit  their  cattle 
at  these  shows,  and  oftentimes  several  hundred  of  the  best 
will  be  shown. 

At  the  Whitsuntide  Show  the  animals  are  divided  into 
the  following  classes:  Bulls — First  class,  27  months  and  over; 
second  class,  18  months  and  under  27  months;  third  class, 
from  15  to  18  months.  Cows — First  class,  age  six  years  and 
over;  second  class,  four  years  and  under  six;  third  class,  under 
four  years.  Heifers — First  class,  two  years  and  over ;  second 
class,  16  months  and  under  two  years;  third  class,  under  16 
months.  The  same  classification  is  used  for  the  August  show. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  103 

The  shows  open  at  9:30  a.  m.,  and  animals  are  admitted 
up  to  10:30  a.  m.  Different  judges  are  had  for  each  class,  and 
usually  two  on  a  class.  No  visitors  are  allowed  in  the  ring 
while  the  judging  is  going  on,  and  as  soon  as  the  judges  have 
finished  their  work  a  flag  is  hoisted  to  the  top  of  the  mast, 
when  all  visitors  can  enter  the  ring  for  a  fee  of  6d.  The 
shows  continue  until  5  :00  p.  m.,  when  members  can  take  their 
cattle  home.  The  judges  reserve  the  right  to  have  the  cows 
milked,  if  desired. 

The  by-laws  governing  the  King's  Cup  Shows  require, 
first,  that  all  animals  must  be  bred  or  dropped  on  the  island ; 
second,  in  the  event  of  a  bull  under  two  years  being  prized, 
the  same  is  bound  to  be  kept  on  the  island  for"  service  until 
he  has  attained  the  age  of  three  years ;  third,  if  a  bull  is  prized 
at  two  years  or  above,  the  same  is  bound  to  be  kept  on  the 
island  for  service  for  the  space  of  twelve  months  after  the 
award.  In  the  event  of  these  or  other  rules  not  being  com- 
plied with,  the  cups  are  passed  down  to  the  reserve  animals. 
It  is  needless  to  say  that  keen  rivalry  exists  at  these  shows, 
and  the  King's  Cups  are  especially  sought  after.  Some  of  the 
older  breeders  have  a  room  literally  full  of  cups  that  have 
been  won  at  these  shows. 


CHAPTER  IV. 

Introduction  Into  America 

It  is  a  well  attested  fact  that  Channel  Islands'  cattle 
(Alderney)  were  imported  into  the  United  States  more  than 
100  years  ago,  and,  without  doubt,  some  of  these  were  Guern- 
seys. Their  blood  was  not  kept  pure,  and  they  became  lost 
in  the  common  herd.  The  first  introduction  of  Guernseys  into 
the  United  States,  the  records  of  which  were  kept  so  that 
later  they  and  their  descendants  could  be  recorded  in  the 
American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  Herd  Register,  was  an  im- 
portation by  a  Mr.  Prince,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  in  1830  or  1831. 
These  cattle  were  taken  to  his  farm  in  Massachusetts,  and  a

little  later  a  cow  and  a  bull  of  this  importation  went  to  Cow 
Island,  in  Lake  Winnipesaukee,  N.  H.  These  two  animals, 
now  registered  as  the  Pillsbury  bull  5816  and  the  Pillsbury 
cow  11310,  were  sold  from  this  herd  to  General  Moody  A. 
Pillsbury,  of  West  Boscawen,  N.  H.  From  these  two  founda- 
tion animals,  some  very  good  animals  were  developed  in  the 
hands  of  Joseph  Barnard,  of  Hopkinton ;  J.  Arthur  Jones  and 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  105 

George  E.  Barnard,  of  West  Hopkinton;  and  the  Canterbury 
Shakers,  of  Canterbury,  N.  H. ;  and  from  this  foundation  came 
Lily  Belle  of  Canterbury  11352,  a  splendid  old  cow,  she  being 
the  granddam  of  the  well-known  cow,  Glencoe's  Bopeep  18602. 
The  cattle  descending  from  this  first  importation  were  not 
recorded  in  the  herd  register  of  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle 
Club  until  1899,  but  for  many  years  previous  to  that  time  the 
New  Hampshire  gentlemen  aforementioned  kept  a  sort  of 
joint  private  herd  book.  When  the  matter  of  registry  came 
up  for  investigation  by  the  club,  it  was  found  that  Mr.  Barn- 
ard Sr.  had  a  carefully  kept  diary  giving  all  the  details  of  the 
individual  animals,  which  made  it  possible  to  register  a  major 
part  of  each  of  these  herds. 

The  next  earliest  importation,  as  far  as  known  from  the 
records  kept  that  later  enabled  the  progeny  to  be  recorded, 
was  of  three  cows,  Jennie  Deans,  Fenella,  and  Flora  Mclvor, 
Nos.  1,  2,  3,  respectively,  of  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle 
Club  Herd  Registry.  These  cows  were  brought  to  New  York 
on  the  schooner  Pilot,  September  26,  1840,  by  the  late  Nicholas 
Biddle,  of  Andalusia,  Pa.  Two  of  these  cows  dropped  heifer 
calves,  Fanny  Ellsler  4,  and  Fairy  5  and  one  a  bull  calf,  St. 
Patrick  1.  Subsequently  Judge  Craig  Biddle,  a  son  of  Nicholas 
Biddle,  became  equally  attached  to  the  cattle  and  visited  the 
Island  of  Guernsey  to  see  them  in  their  native  home. 

Prof.  W.  Gibson,  an  eminent  surgeon  connected  with  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  who  owned  a  country  seat  near 
Philadelphia,  purchased  a  black  and  white  Guernsey  heifer 
in  1858.  He  was  a  great  admirer  of  fine  cattle  and  sub- 
sequently went  to  the  Channel  Islands  and  remained  there 
for  several  months,  visiting  both  Guernsey  and  Jersey  Islands 
to  learn  all  he  could  of  both  breeds.  He  became  an  enthusi- 
astic admirer  of  the  Guernseys  and  wrote  glowing  descriptions 
of  their  superiority  over  the  Jerseys.  He  brought  back  several 
choice  animals  for  himself  and  several  for  his  friend,  Judge 
Biddle.  The  Biddies  maintained  the  purity  of  their  cattle  for 
many  years  and  kept  careful  records. 

As  far  as  known,  the  history  of  the  next  importation  is 
as  follows  :  In  the  American  Agriculturist  of  April,  1868,  there 
appeared  what  is  believed  to  be  the  first  picture  of  a  Guernsey 
cow  published  in  America.  This  was  of  Cottie  188;  and  her 
owner,  James  P.  Swain,  of  Bronxville,  N.  Y.,  writes  as  fol- 
lows in  the  article  accompanying  the  cut : 

"You   ask  me   for  facts  in  regard   to   the    Guernsey  cow   Cottie. 
I    will    tell    you    the    story    of    the    Channel    cattle    as    far    as    they 


106 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


have  come  under  my  own  observation.  In  the  summer  of  1845,  I 
employed  Mr.  LeRoy,  an  intelligent  Guernsey  man,  to  build  a  factory 
for  me,  and  he  interested  me  in  the  cattle  of  his  own  and  the  other 
islands  so  much  that  I  imported  one  from  the  little  Island  of  Alder- 
ney,  two  from  Guernsey,  one  from  Sark  and  two  from  Jersey.  I 
found  but  one  of  them  to  be  a  superior  cow  in  every  respect.  She 
came  from  Guernsey,  gave  32  pounds  of  milk  a  day  when  in  full 
milk,  averaging  24  pounds  a  day  for  eight  months;  was  never  dry 
during  the  six  years  I  owned  her.  She  was  accidentally  killed.  Cottie, 
the  property  of  George  P.  Nelson,  Esq.,  of  Scardale,  is  her  first  calf. 
She  is  now  14  years  old  and  has  been  in  milk  over  12  years,  except 


Cottie   188. 

two  or  three  months.  She  averaged  during  the  summer  24  pounds 
of  milk  daily  for  eight  months,  and  about  8  pounds  for  the  balance 
of  the  year.  Of  the  quality  of  her  milk  I' cannot  give  you  facts,  but 
can  in  regard  to  her  sister.  She  was  so  much  like  her  that  we  never 
could  tell  which  was  the  better  for  quantity  or  quality.  This  sister, 
Katie,  now  owned  by  James  Hall,  Esq.,  of  East  Chester,  gave  at 
her  height  45  pounds  of  milk  per  day,  and  made  14  pounds  5  ounces 
of  butter  per  week,  and  averaged  24l/2  pounds  of  milk  for  eight 
months,  and  a  little  less  than  8  pounds  for  the  balance  of  the  year. 
In  all  the  descendants  of  'Cottie  and  Katie,  and  they  are  very  many, 
I  do  not  think  there  is  a  variation  of  1  per  cent  in  the  quantity  or 
quality  of  milk  they  give,  with  same  care.  This  family  are  all  that 
have  been  of  special  value  out  of  seven  imported  cows." 

The  other  Guernsey  cow  referred  to  was  doubtless  Curl 
Horn  183.  The  mother  of  Cottie  referred  to  in  this  article 
was  Guernsey  184,  and  she  is  recorded  as  "imported  about 
1851  by  J.  P.  Swain  in  the  ship  William  Tell." 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  107 

At  about  the  same  time  Mr.  Swain  purchased  the  bull, 
Rosewell  Colt  29,  bred  by  Mr.  Biddle,  and  in  the  fall  of  1858 
he  made  another  importation,  in  the  ship  Guy  Mannering. 
He  imported  a  cow  which,  as  far  as  I  can  find,  was  never 
registered,  but  she  was  carrying  the  calf  Guy  33. 

In  June,  1855,  W.  H.  Stewart,  of  Torresdale,  Pa.,  imported 
the  cow  named  Stewart's  Cow  11.  Edward  M.  Hopkins,  of 
the  same  place,  imported  the  cow  Flora  17  the  same  year. 

In  1855  Charles  Henry  Fisher,  of  Philadelphia,  imported 
the  three  cows,  Little  Red  Riding  Hood  26,  Sophia  27,  and 
Fanny  Physic  28.  Mr.  Fisher  already  owned  a  bull,  Hercules 
9,  born  1850  and  imported  by  R.  L.  Colt,  of  Paterson,  N.  J., 
and  the  blood  of  these  animals  is  still  mingled  in  the  high- 
class  herd  owned  by  James  Logan  Fisher,  of  Fernrock,  one  of 
the  suburbs  of  Philadelphia. 

The  Fowlers,  of  Philadelphia  and  Southampton,  had 
brought  over  large  numbers  of  Jerseys  for  public  sale,  and 
at  about  1865  they  began  to  bring  a  few  Guernseys  also, 
though  I  do  not  find  any  animal  recorded  of  their  importa- 
tion earlier  than  the  cow  Signet  99,  imported  to  Boston  in 
September,  1870.  This  -cow  was  sold  to  James  M.  Codman, 
and  he  tells  me  that  it  was  she  that  first  gave  him  his  interest 
in  the  breed.  He  also  says  that  it  was  the  first-Guernsey  cow 
sold  at  auction  in  the  United  States  of  which  there  is  any 
record.  Liking  this  cow  and  being  impressed  with  the  very 
yellow  milk  and  butter  that  she  gave,  he  decided  the  next 
year  to  make  a  trip  to  the  island,  arriving  on  the  very  morning 
that  the  cattle  from  Guernsey  were  being  shipped  over  to 
Jersey  for  the  Channel  Islands  exhibition  mentioned  in  Chapter 
II.  Seeing  this,  he  stayed  on  the  boat  and  went  to  Jersey 
and  attended  this  exhibition.  He  spent  several  weeks  on 
Guernsey,  studying  the  history  and  characteristics  of  the 
breed,  and  purchased  the  cows  Amber  50  and  Crystal  51  for 
himself,  and  also  imported  the  bull  Jasper  25  and  the  cows 
Pearl  20,  Topaz  21,  Jewel  22,  and  Ruby  23  for  Wm.  P.  Per- 
kins, of  Wayland,  Mass. 

Shortly  after  this  time  the  Massachusetts  Society  for  the 
Promotion  of  Agriculture  became  interested  in  the  introduction 
of  Guernseys  into  Massachusetts  for  the  improvement  of  the 
dairy  stock,  and  as  early  as  September  28,  1874,  an  importa- 
tion was  made  and  the  cattle  scattered  to  many  different  farms 
in  the  state,  including  those  of  James  Lawrence,  Groton; 
E.  F.  Bowditch,  Framingham ;  and  W.  C.  Cabot,  Brookline. 
All  three  of  these  herds  are  still  maintained. 


108  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

At  the  same  time  a  group  of  farmers  around  Hartford, 
Conn.,  and  especially  those  who  were  patrons  of  the  creamery 
at  Farmington,  having  heard  of  the  Guernseys,  and  not  being 
able  to  buy  them  in  this  country,  unitedly  sent  to  the  island 
C.  M.  Beach,  of  Hartford,  and  M.  C.  Weld,  of  New  York.  They 
made  a  number  of  importations  of  cattle  to  Connecticut,  and 
from  them  many  herds  were  founded,  including  that  of  the  late 
Edward  Norton,  who  became  the  first  secretary  of  the  club. 

Other  single  animals  imported  earlier  than  1871  were 
Lady  Thierman  135,  imported  in  1869;  Brown  Forest  69,  Belle 
Forest  67,  Lady  Forest  45,  Lily  Forest  41,  and  Lady  Hudson 
391,  imported  May  2,  1870. 

In  1872  Silas  Betts,  of  Camden,  N.  J.,  purchased  the  cows 
Queen  74,  Beauty  of  Bloomfield  75,  and  Peeress  76  from  an 
importation  of  E.  P.  P.  Fowler,  the  last  two  named  dropping 
the  calves  Billy  3  and  Romeo  40.  The  cow  Beauty  of  Bloom- 
field  numbers  among  her  descendants  many  high-class  ani- 
mals, including  the  cow  Cinderella  3251,  that  won  first  prize 
at  the  Wisconsin  State  Fair  of  1887. 

At  this  time  the  Fowlers  were  .gradually  increasing  the 
number  of  Guernseys  in  their  importations,  and  in  the  spring 
of  1872  Thomas  M.  Harvey  and  Son,  West  Grove,  Pa.,  pur- 
chased of  them  the  cows  Nos.  81  to  86,  and  these,  with 
the  cows  Nos.  24  and  25,  purchased  by  Messrs.  Harvey 
of  Judge  Biddle,  were  the  first  cattle,  as  the  records  show, 
that  went  into  Chester  county,  Pennsylvania,  which  county 
later  was  for  years  the  headquarters  for  the  breed. 

In  May,  1878,  importations  were  made  to  Boston  by  James 
Lawrence,  who,  it  will  be  remembered,  had  some  of  the  first 
cattle  of  the  importations  by  the  Massachusetts  Society  for 
the  Promotion  of  Agriculture,  and  by  this  time  cattle  from  the 
Fowler  importations  had  been  scattered  to  all  the  seaboard 
states. 

In  1878  Wm.  L.  Fox,  of  Foxburg,  Pa.,  imported  five  cows, 
Frolic  49,  Florence  50,  Fancy  51,  Fan  52,  and  Fay  53.  In  June 
of  the  same  year  J.  J.  C.  Abbot,  of  Montreal,  Canada,  imported 
the  cows  Rosey  of  Les  Vauxbelets  379  and  Rosebud  of  Les 
Vauxbelets  2d  380,  they  appearing  to  be  the  first  Guernsey  * 
to  go  to  Canada. 

As  early  as  November  24,  1872,  a  cow,  Monica  371,  was 
imported  direct  to  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  by  J.  N.  Knowles  and 
sold  to  Henry  Pierce,  of  the  Yerba  Buena  ranch.  In  October, 
1879,  Mr.  Pierce  made  an  importation  of  bull  No.  183  and  the 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


109 


nine  cows  Nos.  417  to  426.  The  descendants  of  this  importa- 
tion have  apparently  been  lost  sight  of. 

In  1871  the  Coleman  heirs,  Cornwall,  Pa.,  purchased  the 
cows  Nos.  397,  398,  620,  621,  of  the  Fowlers,  these  cattle  later 
passing  to  E.  C.  Freeman,  who  until  his  death  in  1912  main- 
tained a  high-class  herd.  The  well  known  cow,  Purity  2315, 
that  won  second  prize  at  the  Columbian  Exposition  in  1893, 
came  from  this  herd. 

In  1878  L.  W.  Ledyard,  of  Cazenovia,  N.  Y.,  purchased 
two  heifers,  Fernwood  Fancy  37  and  Kathleen  38,  of  Mr. 
Beach  of  Hartford,  who  had  recently  imported  them.  Mr. 


Fernleaf  636 — 18.81   Ibs.   butter   in   seven   days.- 

Ledyard  began  at  once  to  test  his  cows,  and  Kathleen  made 
for  him  22  pounds  4  ounces  of  butter  in  seven  days  and  sin; 
was  the  dam  of  Fernleaf  636,  18  pounds  13  ounces  butter; 
and  Fernwood  Fancy  made  14  pounds  and  7  ounces.  Mr. 
Ledyard  became  very  favorably  impressed  with  the  cattle, 
and  in  September,  1880,  he  made  an  importation  of  14  females 
and  brought  them  to  his  farm,  which  he  named  "Fernwood." 
Included  in  this  importation  was  the  cow  Lady  May  that  made 
for  him  19  pounds  of  butter  in  seven  days.  Mr.  Ledyard  be- 
came at  once  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  supporters  of  the 
breed,  and  in  September  of  1883  he  brought  over  25  females,

Nos.  1464  to  1485  and  1565  to  1568,  that  were  notable,  indeed, 
and  bulls  Nos.  644  and  645.  Among  these  cows  were  Countess 
of  Fernwood  1464,  that  made  for  Mr.  Ledyard  14  pounds  12 
ounces  butter  in  seven  days  and  that  was  the  dam  of  the  ad- 
vanced register  bull  Viscount  2177,  she  being  out  of  the  cow 
Fleurie  du  Terte  1136,  G.  H.  B.,  that  had  a  record  of  14  pounds 
10  ounces  butter,  Guernsey  weight,  on  the  island ;  also  Gazelle 
of  Fernwood  1467,  the  mother  of  Glenwood  Girl  1693 ;  Fern-

wood  Lily  1468,  the  dam  of  two  advanced  register  bulls,  Lily's 
Bonny  Boy  2676  and  Fernwood  Lily's  Son  3931 ;  Guernsey 
Gift  1483,  a  very  high-class  daughter  of  Presto  14,  P.  S.,  that 
milked  over  40  pounds  of  milk  with  her  first  calf;  and  Bonnie 
Lassie  of  Fernwood  1485,  the  dam  of  the  celebrated  bull, 
Bonny  Boy  1097.  With  these  cattle  Mr.  Ledyard  also  brought 
the  cows  Nos.  1506  to  1522  for  Mr.  Schenck,  the  most  cele- 
brated of  which  was  Vestall  of  Larchmont  1507,  that  made 
18  pounds  \2l/2  ounces  butter  in  seven  days. 

In  February,  1881,  S.  C.  Kent,  of  West  Grove,  Pa.,  landed 
his  first  importation  of  cattle  at  Philadelphia,  and  in  the  next 
four  or  five  years,  in  connection  with  James  James,  of  Les 
Vauxbelets,  Guernsey,  and  Mark  Hughes,  also  of  West  Grove, 
imported  over  1,000  head  of  Guernsey  cattle  and  scattered 
them  far  and  wide  through  auction  sales.  One  of  the  most 
notable  of  his  sales  was  the  one  held  in  May,  1884,  at  which 
76  animals  sold  above  the  $200  mark,  and  Lady  Emily  Foley 
2d  1700  sold  for  $1,900  to  Henry  Palmer,  a  neighbor  of  Messrs.

Kent  and  Hughes,  who  also  paid  $480  for  the  cow  Lily  des 
Islets  1816  and  $550  for  the  cow  The  Nun  1812.  Many  others 
sold  above  the  $400  mark.  From  the  books  it  would  appear 
that  during  those  three  or  four  years  Mr.  Kent  registered 
nearly  one-half  of  the  cattle  recorded  in  the  American  Register 
during  that  time. 

In  view  of  the  recent  outbreak  of  foot  and  mouth  disease 
in  the  United  States,  the  fact  will  be  of  interest  that  one  of 
the  importations  made  by  Messrs.  Kent  and  Hughes  had  this 
disease.  The  story  of  this  outbreak  is  here  given  in  Mr. 
Hughes'  own  words: 

"In  the  month  of  March,  1883,  S.  €.  Kent,  of  West  Grove,  and 
myself,  as  partners,  made  an  importation  of  80  head  of  Guernsey 
cattle  direct  from  the  island.  These  cattle  were  landed  March  18, 
1883,  from  the  steamship  Nessmore,  at  Baltimore.  My  memory  is 
that  they  had  been  about  17  days  on  the  ship.  Quarantine  enforce- 
ment, then  imposed  by  the  Treasury  Department,  requiring  us  to 
keep  them  90  days  in  quarantine,  was  turned  over  to  this  state.  At 
the  time  of  this  importation,  and  several  others  also,  permission  had 
been  granted  us  before  the  arrival  of  the  cattle  to  quarantine  them 
in  barns  that  we  procured  in  West  Grove,  Pa.  I  had  actual  care 
of  the  cattle  of  these  several  importations. 

"As  soon  as  this  particular  importation  of  cattle  landed  my 
man  told  me  that  some  of  the  cattle  were  sick,  and  from  what  he 
told  me  of  the  symptoms  I  at  once  suspected  foot  and  mouth  disease, 
after  having  heard  what  I  had  of  the  recent  attacks  in  England.  I

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


at  once  telegraphed  Dr.  Francis  Bridge,  of  Philadelphia,  (then  the 
state  veterinarian  of  Pennsylvania)  and  asked  him  to  come  at  once 
to  West  Grove.  They  had  been  inspected  by  a  government  veterin- 
arian on  the  boat  and  when  I  arrived  he  said  to  me:  'Mr.  Hughes, 
you  have  one  pretty  sick  cow  on  board  (which  was  Imported  Cora 
de  Sausmarez  1733,  A.  G.  C.  C.)  that  unless  you  take  good  care  of 
you  will  lose.'  The  cattle  were  just  in  the  early  stages  of  the 
disease,  having  fever,  not  wishing  to  eat,  and  wanting  to  lie  down, 
but  the  old  cow  referred  to  had  begun  to  show  later  symptoms  of 
the  disease.  We  got  the  cattle  on  the  cars  and  arrived  at  West 


Imp.   Lady   Emily   Foley  2d   1700. 

Grove  with  them  at  2:00  o'clock  the  next  morning  and  took  them 
out  of  the  cars  at  once  to  two  barns.  Dr.  Bridge  did  not  reach  West 
Grove  until  about  9  a.  m.  that  day.  When  I  met  him  at  the  train 
I  told  him  that  I  believed  the  cattle  had  foot  and  mouth  disease, 
and  he  at  once  went  to  the  station  agent  and  had  the  cars  in  which 
the  cattle  came  held  up  until  disinfected  by  his  direction.  He  diag- 
nosed it  foot  and  mouth  disease,  as  I  expected  he  would. 

"Two  men  came  over  from  Guernsey  with  these  cattle,  and  these 
two  men  went  to  one  barn  and  two  of  my  men  who  lived  in  West 
Grove  went  to  the  other  barn.  None  of  these  men  left  the  barns 
during  the  90-day  quarantine  period.  I  myself  visited  both  barns 
every  day  -and  saw  that  Dr.  Bridge's  advice  regarding  the  treatment 
of  the  disease  was  carried  out.  Included  in  his  treatment  was  the 
standing  of  every  animal  twice  each  day  in  a  trough  of  disinfectant 
and  scrubbing  her  feet.  Mr.  Palmer's  barn  was  on  a  farm  that  Mr. 
Palmer  has  just  purchased,  and  the  former  owner  had  a  sale  of  farm 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  113 

tools,  two  horses,  and  a  goat  advertised  to  take  place  on  this  farm 
soon  after  the  arrival  of  the  cattle.  Dr.  Bridge  objected  to  the  con- 
ducting of  the  sale  there,  -but,  finally,  when  I  told  him  that  we  would 
see  that  no  person  went  in  or  near  the  barn  in  which  the  cattle  were, 
and  I  had  promised  to  buy  the  two  horses  and  the  goat  (the  only 
live  stock  on  the  farm)  he  gave  us  permission  to  hold  the  sale 
and  no  evil  results  followed. 

"The  stables  and  cattle  were  thoroughly  disinfected  every  day, 
but  no  precautions  were  taken  to  disinfect  the  hay  or  straw  in  the 
mows  above,  although  the  men  had  every  day  gone  up  to  these  mows 
to  throw  down  hay.  Immediately  at  the  close  of  the  90-day  period 
these  cattle  were  all  taken  to  my  home  farm  and  placed  with  other 
cattle  then  on  the  place.  About  three  moYiths  later  one-half  or 
more  were  sold  and  others  farmed  out  among  farmers  in  this  locality. 
There  was  no  further  spread  of  the  disease.  Every  animal  had  the 
disease,  and  not  one  died,  not  one  aborted,  and  every  calf  born  during 
the  period  was  saved.  Also,  no  udder  trouble  resulted,  and  this  not- 
withstanding the  fact  that  considerable  hoof  trouble  resulted  and  sev- 
eral of  these  animals  lost  the  shell  of  their  hoofs  during  the  sum- 
mer, the  last  ones  probably  as  late  as  September  or  October  while 
they  were  running  with  animals  that  had  not  previously  had  the 
disease.  Some  of  the  cattle  also  lost  their  horns,  though  I  do  not 
now  remember  how  many.  No  United  States  inspector  visited  the 
place  during  the  epizootic. 

"Before  we  got  all  of  the  cattle  off  the  ship  they  had  com- 
menced to  load  beef  cattle  and  sheep  into  the  ship,  without  its  dis-

infection,  for  Southampton.     Many  of  these  animals  were  down  with 
foot  and  mouth  disease  when  they  reached  England." 

The  statement  has  often  been  made  that  animals  that 
have  had  foot  and  mouth  disease  were  ruined  for  breeding 
purposes.  The  records  have  been  searched  for  the  number  of 
the  progeny  of  this  importation  and  of  another  importation 
of  80  head  made  the  same  year  by  Messrs.  Kent  and  Hughes 
that  did  not  have  foot  and  mouth  disease.  The  books  show 
that  202  calves  have  been  recorded  from  the  importation  that 
did  not  have  the  disease  and  217  from  the  importation  that 
did  have  it.  It  may  be  of  further  interest  to  state  that  Yeksa 
Sunbeam  15439  (857.15  pounds  of  fat)  ;  May  Rilma  22761 
(1073.41  pounds  of  fat)  ;  Murne  Cowan  19597  (1098.18  pounds 
of  fat)  ;  Dolly  Bloom  12770  (836.21  pounds  of  fat)  ;  Dolly 
Dimple  19144  (906.89  pounds  of  fat)  ;  Azucena's  Pride  2d 
24957  (855.7  pounds  of  fat),  and  many  others  of  the  greatest 
cows  of  the  breed  are  descendants  from  cows  of  the  importa- 
tion that  had  the  disease.  At  least  six  animals  that  have  been 
grand  champions  at  the  National  Dairy  Show  were  also  de- 
scendants of  that  importation.  Lady  Emily  Foley  2d,  men-

tioned  previously,  and  Tricksey  1760  were  in  this  importation. 

In  1883  A.  J.  Cassatt,  who  later  became  president  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad,  imported  12  cows.  A  clipping  from 
the  Guernsey  paper,  La  Baillage,  states  that  the  prices  he  paid 
for  them  were  from  £50  to  £210  each.  Included  in  the  lot 
was  Vesta  2d  of  St.  Peter  Port  1443  (Vesta  2d  424,  F.  S.) 
that  had  made  a  record  of  16  pounds  of  butter,  Guernsey 
weight,  in  seven  days  on  the  island. 

In  July,  1883,  J.  W.  Fuller,  of  Catasauqua,  Pa.,  made  a 
small  importation  of  five  head,  and  in  September,  1884,  he  im- 
ported 64  females  and  five  bulls,  which  was*  one  of  the  most 
notable  importations  ever  made.  Included  in  this  lot  were 
Select-  2205,  that  founded  the  family  of  that  name  and  that 
made  22  pounds  8  ounces  butter  in  seven  days ;  Jolie  2d  2206, 
that  is  said  to  have  milked  65  pounds  of  milk  in  a  day;  and 
France  2207,  that  founded  the  France  family.  Several  of  the 
Select  and  Jolie  2d  families  came  with  this  lot.  There  were 
also  included  in  this  importation  the .  Windfalls,  dam  and 
daughters  ;  Lady  Whitesea  2214 ;  Daisy  of  the  Rue  a  1'Or  2226 ; 


Imp.   France   2207 — from  which  the   France   family   sprung.      Imported  by  J.   W.

leys  2249,  and  many  other  good  ones,  space  forbidding  in- 
dividual mention. 

In  August,  1882,  S.  L.  Hoxie,  of  S.  Edmeston,  N.  Y., 
who  was  later  the  first  superintendent  of  the  advanced  reg- 
istry for  the  Holstein  breed,  imported  27  females  and  two 
bulls.  Included  in  this  lot  were  Gully  V  1590  (24  pounds  2 
ounces  butter  in  seven  days),  Duchess  of  Brittany  1613  (21 
pounds  4  ounces),  Stella  4th  1598  (18  pounds  4  ounces),

Musette  Ford  1600  (16  pounds  4  ounces),  Dolly  Ford  2d 
1595  (15  pounds  12  ounces),  Primrose  Ford  1589  (15  pounds 
8  ounces),  Primrose  Ford  4th  3302  (14  pounds  3^2  ounces), 
and  many  other  excellent  cows  whose  blood  was  scattered  over 
New  York  and  Pennsylvania. 

From  1884  to  1887  practically  no  cattle  were  imported, 
but  in  November,  1887,  Levi  P.  Morton  imported  60  cows 
and  one  bull.  In  this  lot  were  some  notable  cows,  including 
Bretonne  3660,  that  later  made  602.9  pounds  of  butter-fat; 
Buda  7178,  602.7  pounds  fat;  Beinfaitrice  4th  3657,  the  dam  of

Sheet  Anchor  2934 ;  Rosette  5th  3698,  one  of  the  leading  cows 
in  the  Guernsey  herd  at  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition 
in  1893 ;  Esmeralda  8657,  and  many  others  of  almost  equal 
note.  Mr.  Morton  later  made  several  other  importations  of 
high-class  cows,  but  was  so  unfortunate  as  to  lose  100  head 
of  his  best  cows  at  one  time  by  fire. 

E.  N.  Howell,  of  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  imported  10  cows 
in  September,  1886,  and  six  more  in  April,  1888,  among  them

a  daughter  of  Climax  48,  P.  S.  In  December,  1888,  Hope- 
well  Brothers,  Natick,  Mass.,  imported  14  cows. 

J.  Pierpont  Morgan  imported  10  head  in  July,  1889,  and 
in  February,  1890,  S.  C.  Kent  made  his  last  importation,  which 
consisted  of  60  females  and  one  bull,  45  of  which  were  sold 
at  auction  March  17,  1890. 

In  1891  Francis  Shaw,  Wayland,  Mass.,  who  at  that  time 
probably  had  the  best  herd  in  the  country,  having  purchased 


118

at  different  times  such  cows  as  Select  2205  and  Select  2d  2229, 
France  2207,  France  3d  2573,  Kathleen  38,  Dawn  711,  Picotte 
2d  2218,  and  Jessie  of  Lester  Manor  740,  sent  J.  L.  Hope  to 
Guernsey,  who  took  with  him  the  first  Babcock  tester  ever

used  on  the  island.  Mr.  Shaw's  idea  was  to  import  such 
cows  as  might  be  useful  to  the  breed  as  representatives  in 
the  World's  Fair  test  in  1893.  Several  of  this  importation  were 
good  enough  to  qualify  for  this  test.  Included  in  the  lot  was 
Pretty  Dairymaid  2d  of  Guernsey  6366,  that  won  first  prize 
on  the  island  in  1889,  1890  and  1892. 

In  April,  1891,  Edward  Burnett,  then  proprietor  of  Deer- 
foot  Farms,  Southboro,  Mass.,  made  the  first  importation  for 
H.  McK.  Twombly,  consisting  of  13  females.  In  this  lot  were 
Daisy  Pearl  5990,  Honoria  4th  5989,  and  Virginia  of  Madison 
6000,  whose  blood  later  added  character  to  the  breed. 

In  1894  Mr.  Twombly  imported  15  females,  and  included 
in  this  lot  were  Deanie  3d  7643,  and  Belvidera  7644,  that  later 
made  an  advanced  registry  record  of  420.63  pounds  of  fat, 
and  other  good  ones.  In  this  same  year  Mr.  Morton  made 
a  second  importation  of  17  head,  which  included  among  other 
good  ones  May  Rose  4th  7682  and  May  Rose  5th  7681.

In  1895  Allen  S.  Apgar,  of  New  York,  imported  the  bull, 
Squire  of  Lilyvale,  that  had  twice  won  first  prize  on  the  island, 
and  seven  high-class  females,  two  of  the  best  of  which  were 
Success  of  Lilyvale  8284,  which  was  bred  on  Sark,  and  Pride 
of  Lilyvale  8285,  of  Alderney  breeding,  both  of  foundation 
stock.  In  April,  1895,  Mr.  Morton  made  another  importation 
of  27  females,  including  many  animals  whose  blood  is  now 
scattered  throughout  the  country. 

In  1896  James  Forsyth,  of  Oswego,  N.  Y.,  imported  a 
few  animals,  and  in  the  same  year  Benjamin  Heartz  imported 
10  good  females  into  Prince  Edward  Island.  In  1898  Mr. 
Twombly  imported  43  more  females  for  his  Florham  herd. 

From  that  time  until  1901  there  were  no  important  im- 
portations, and  very  few  animals  were  brought  over  that

have  left  any  appreciable  impress  on  the  breed.  An  importa- 
tion of  six  head  by  E.  Rigg  Brow,  of  Charlottetown,  Prince 
Edward  Island,  was  probably  of  most  note.  The  Experi- 
mental Farms  at  Ottawa,  Canada,  imported  a  few  head  of

high-class  animals  in  1901.  In  the  same  year  H.  McK.  Twom- 
bly  imported  16  head  of  females,  which  was  without  doubt 
the  highest-class  lot  that  ever  was  imported.  Justice  to  this 
importation  would  not  be  given  unless  all  were  named.  They 
included  Love  Knot  14441,  known  on  the  island  as  Justinee 
II ;  Charmante  of  the  Gron  14442  (676.46  pounds  fat)  ;  Pre- 
toria 14443  (595.35  pounds  fat)  ;  her  daughter  Pretoria  2d

pounds  fat)  ;  Cambrian  Princess  14446  (457.07  pounds  fat  at 
three  and  one-half  years  of  age)  ;  Pride  of  Home  14447  (534.26 
pounds  fat),  first  prize  cow  at  the  St.  Louis  Exposition, 
1904;  Claremont  Hyacinth  2d  14448;  Lady  of  Fashion  14449 
(336.51  pounds  fat),  daughter  of  Charmante  of  the  Gron; 
Love  Knot  2d  14450  (644.3  pounds  fat)  ;  Maid  of  Kent  14451 ; 
Sign  of  Quality  14452;  Ma  Charmante  3d  14453;  La  Belle 
France  14454,  known  on  the  island  as  France  III,  and  one  of 
the  best  known  cows  of  the  breed ;  her  daughter  Bonne  et 
Belle  14455  (423.85  pounds  fat  at  three  years  of  age)  ;  and 
Couleur  de  Rose  14456  (474.44  pounds  fat).  Not  only  did  this 
importation  represent  a  large  amount  of  money,  it  having 
been  reported  that  $4,000  was  the  price  paid  for  France  III, 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  121 

but  it  also  represented  a  large  amount  of  time  and  personal 
interest  and  investigation  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Hope,  who 
selected  them. 

To  this  lot  was  added,  in  September,  1902,  six  head  more 
of  very  choice  animals,  including  Itchen  Beda  15627  (548.72 
pounds  fat)  and  Itchen  Daisy  3d  15630  (714.15  pounds  fat 
at  four  years  of  age).

In  March,  1902,  Edward  Trotter  Price,  of  Broad  Axe, 
Pa.,  made  his  first  importation  of  20  head,  nearly  all  of  them 
from  England.  V.  Everitt  Macy,  of  Ossining,  N.  Y.,  made  a 
notable  importation  of  13  females  in  December,  1902.  In- 
cluded in  this  lot  were  Mashers  Justinee  16002  (510.58 
pounds  fat),  Cora's  Queen's  Prize  IV  16004  (410.81  pounds 
fat),  Beatrice  of  the  Isles  16005  (518.52  pounds  fat),  and  An- 
toinette's Queen's  Prize  VII  16010  (415.98  pounds  fat). 

In  September,  1902,  F.  L.  Ames  made  what  probably  was, 
next  to  Mr.  Twombly's,  the  most  notable  importation  of  any 
yet  made.  It  included  Hayes  Richesse  2d  15474  (642 .43 
pounds  fat),  Hayes  Rosie  15476  (714.31  pounds  fat),  Hayes 
Felois  2d  15478  (384.15  pounds  fat),  Lady  Ovid  of  Easton 
15480  (551.06  pounds  fat),  Princess  Rhea  15479  (775.69  pounds 
fat),  and  Melanie  of  Goodnestone  3d  15485  (387.76  pounds 
fat).  The  blood  of  several  of  these  cows  is  an  important  in- 
fluence in  the  advancement  of  the  breed. 

In  July,  1903,  Mr.  Price  made  a  second  importation  of 
17  cows,  and  animals  from  these  two  lots  with  some  few  Amer-

ican-bred,  he  showed  with  great  success  at  the  fairs  in  the 
fall  of  1904,  including  the  St.  Louis  World's  Fair.  In  October 
of  that  year  he  sold  them  all  at  auction  and  immediately  im- 
ported others  that  he  distributed  in  very  successful  sales  in 
the  two  following  years.  Among  the  latter  lot  were  many 
cows 'of  great  excellence. 

In  September,  1903,  George  Robbins,  of  Hinsdale,  111., 
imported  one  bull,  and  10  heifers  in  calf,  from  the  island,  which 
I  believe  were  the  first  imported  by  anyone  west  of  the  Al-

leghany  mountains,  after  the   much  earlier  importation   into 
California  of  Henry  Pierce  already  mentioned. 

.Mr.  Twombly  made  still  another  importation  in  April, 
1905,  of  43  head,  and  a  large  part  of  these  have  since  qualified 
for  the  Advanced  Registry.  Space  will  not  permit  of  men- 
tion of  all  the  records  made  by  them,  but  the  most  notable 
was  that  of  Rosy  of  the  Palotterie  IV  18897,  that  produced 
718.15  pounds  of  fat  and  was  the  dam  of  the  bull  Rocking- 
ham  18120,  which  sold  for  $2,000  at  Mr.  Phillip's  sale  in  1913. 
Mr.  Robbins  made  a  second  importation  of  17  head  in  August,

1905,  a  third  of  25  head  in  March,  1906,  and  a  fourth  of  30 
head  in  June,  1906. 

In  July,  1906,  Westmoreland  Davis,  of  Leesburg,  Va.,  im- 
ported 13  choice  animals,  and  the  same  year  E.  W.  Oglebay, 
of  Wheeling,  W.  Va.,  imported  10  head,  mostly  English-bred, 
and  a  second  lot  of  50  in  July,  1906. 

E.  C.  Converse,  Greenwich,  Conn.,  being  pleased  with 
the  first  animals  that  he  purchased  at  one  of  Mr.  Price's  sales, 
imported  six  cows  in  March,  1906.  On  October  2,  1905,  A.  A.

Housman,  Babylon,  L.  I.,  imported  27  females,  16  more  in 
August,  1906,  and  19  head  in  a  third  lot  in  November  of  the 
same  year. 

Mention  has  been  made  of  the  first  outbreak  of  tuber- 
culosis on  the  island.  In  one  of  Mr.  Price's  later  importa- 
tions two  cows  had  reacted,  both  coming  from  the  infected 
herd  on  the  island.  Without  doubt,  the  disease  was  also  im- 
ported in  the  Housman  importation,  as  many  of  them  reacted 
almost  as  soon  as  they  reached  this  country,  and  a  large  part 
of  the  importation  was  lost  to  the  breed.  Included  in  this 
importation  was  the  bull  St.  Amant  11600,  A.  R.

Imp.   Couleur  de  Rose   14456,  A.   R.   70 — 474.44  pounds  fat  in  one  year. 

Iii  August,  1906,  Alfred  G.  Lewis,  of  Geneva,  N.  Y.,  made 
his  first  importation,  71  head.  During  the  next  few  years  Mr. 
Lewis  imported  hundreds  of  the  best  cattle  that  the  island  pro- 
duced, selling  them  at  public  auction  and  private  sales  and 
scattering  them  into  nearly  every  state  from  Maine  to  Cali- 
fornia. 

In  May,  1907,  I  made  my  first  visit  to  the  island,  bringing 
back  37  head  for  different  parties,  mostly  for  Arthur  Meeker, 
who  himself  afterward  imported  22  heifers.  Also  in  May, 
1907,  H.  W:  Wigman  imported  26  head,  the  bulk  of  which 
went  to  F.  G.  Benham,  of  Canandaigua,  N.  Y.,  and  since  that 
time  Mr.  Benham  has  made  many  importations  himself  of 
the  sort  that  have  greatly  helped  to  improve  the  breed. 

In  1910,  in  connection  with  Arthur  Meeker,  I  made  an- 
other importation,  and  included  in  this  lot  were  60  head  from 
Alderney,  the  first  to  come  direct  from  that  island. 

For  some  time  previous  to  this  date,  F.  S.  Peer  had  been

bringing  over  a  few  high-class  Guernseys  with  his  importa- 
tions of  Jerseys,  and  finding  a  growing  demand  for  them  he 
greatly  increased  the  number  of  Guernseys  and  decreased  the 
Jerseys  until  now  his  importation  of  Jerseys  has  nearly  ceased 
while  he  is  importing  large  numbers  of  the  best  Guernseys. 

In  October,  1908,  George  W.  Ott  brought  over  a  lot  of 
50  head,  and  has  made  several  other  large  importations  since. 

James  H.  Beirne,  of  Oakfield,  Wis.,  bought  three  out 
of  my  first  importation  and  liked  them  so  well  that  he  went 
over  himself  the  same  year  and  again  the  next. 

In  1909  I  made  an  importation  of  108  head  for  O.  C.  Bar- 
ber, Akron,  Ohio,  and  a  second  one  of  100  head  for  him  in 
1913. 

Since  1908  the  number  of  importations  have  so  increased, 
as  well  as  the  number  of  cattle  imported,  and  the  facts  are  so 
well  known  to  all  that  it  is  impossible  and  unnecessary  to 
continue  the  detailed  account  of  them.  Among  the  names 
of  those  who  have  made  one  or  more  importations  of  note  are : 
J.  S.  Govin,  Menomonie,  Wis. ;  Fred  G.  Phillips,  Villa  Nova, 
Pa. ;  Geo.  C.  Cooper,  Superior,  Wis. ;  M.  A.  DeWitt,  Bing-

nigh  impossible  to  mention  all  of  the  men  who  have  played 
a  part  in  introducing  the  blood  of  the  best  island  cattle  to 
this  country. 


First  large  shipment  from  Alderney   to  America.     Ready   to  embark. 

Mention  has  been  made  of  the  females  only  in  these  im- 
portations. Because  a  bull  has  so  wide  an  influence,  due  to 
his  greater  ability  to  beget  descendants,  it  seems  wise  to  men- 
tion individually  some  of  the  best  island  bulls  that  have  been 
brought  to  this  country.  Probably  the  first  one  that  attracted 
marked  attention  was  the  bull  Sir  Champion  38,  imported  by 
Thomas  Harvey  &  Son  in  1871.  He  had  15  sons  named  after 
him,  Sir  Champion.  2d  to  Sir  Champion  16th,  and  dozens  of 
other  sons,  nearly  all  of  which  were  used  in  pure-bred  herds. 
It  has  been  said  that  more  animals  are  traced  to  Sir  Champion 
than  to  any  other  single  animal  of  the  breed.  His  son,  Jeweller

117,  was  the  best  known  bull  of  the  breed  from  1882  to  1887. 
This  was  about  the  time  that  talk  about  the  selection  of  dairy 
cattle  by  the  Guenon  method  was  at  its  height.  The  system 
was  based  on  the  character  of  the  escutcheon. 

The  next  bull  imported  that  has  made  a  marked  impress 
on  the  breed  was  Presto  of  Preel  571,  known  on  the  island  as 
Presto  14,  P.  S.,  and  that  bull  won  first  prize  on  Guernsey 
in  1881.  He  is  known  only  because  of  the  descendants  of  his 
sons  and  daughters  left  on  the  island,  and  little  is  known  of 


Imp.    Island    Champion    6263,    known    as    Masher    2d    858,    P.    S.,    on    the    Island    of 

Guernsey.      Winner    of    first    prize    there    in    1894,    1895,    1896,    1898    and    1899,    and 

Queen's  cup  in  1895. 

his  progeny  sired  in  this  country.  His  name  appears  in  the 
pedigrees  of  a  majority  of  the  cattle  imported  from  the  island 
in  recent  years.  Forget-me-not  587,  imported  by  Edward 
Burnett  and  sold  to  Francis  Shaw,  appears  in  the  names  of 
many  animals  of  Mr.  Shaw's  breeding. 

L.  W.  Ledyard  in  his  importations  brought  over  Lord 
Fernwood  644  and  Fernwood  Royal  645,  the  last  named  being 
a  son  of  Presto  14,  P.  S.,  above  mentioned  and  out  of  the  cow 
Countess  of  Fernwood  1464,  that  was  one  of  the  best  of  Mr. 
Ledyard's  importations.  He  was  the  sire  of  Bonny  Boy  1097, 
and  it  was  through  this  son  that  his  blood  was  most  dis-

In  the  Fuller  importation  came  Herald  990  and  his  son 
Herald  2d  994,  and  the  blood  of  these  bulls  appears  in  many 
of  the  pedigrees  of  today.  With  the  first  importation  of  Mr. 
Morton's  came  the  bull  Safeguard  1790.  Later  he  imported 
Lord  Stranford  2187,  that  became  the  greatest  prize  winning 
bull  of  the  breed.  He  won  first  prize  as  a  yearling  on  the 
island  and  won  more  than  125  prizes  at  nearly  all  the  great 
fairs  east  and  west  in  this  country,  but  he  never  proved  to 
be  even  an  ordinary  sire,  and  his  blood  now  appears  principally 
in  pedigrees  through  his  son  Sheet  Anchor  and  his  daughter 
Robinson's  Princess.  While  he  attracted  great  attention  as  a 
show  bull,  there  is  no  doubt  that  in  his  case  the  breed  would 
be  better  if  he  had  never  been  born. 

The  next  imported  bull  to  attract  particular  attention  was 
Golden  Knight  3405,  imported  by  E.  S.  Clark,  Cooperstown, 
N.  Y.  He  has  through  his  sons  Penwyn  4590  and  Fenimore 
Prince  4559  contributed  to  the  good  of  the  breed. 

Three  bulls  came  over  in  the  latter  Morton  importations, 
and  the  bull  Annatto  3887,  that  won  the  Queen's  prize  in 
1894,  proved  a  very  good  sire  and  his  blood  has  been  dispersed 
to  many  of  the  herds  of  the  couatry.  In  1899  Howard  Tuttle 
imported  the  bull  Royal  of  La  Lande  6223,  and  his  list  of 
advanced  register  daughters  proves  that  he  must  have  been 
a  high-class  sire. 

In  1899  Mr.  Hope  imported  for  Mr.  Twombly  the  bull, 
Island  Champion  6263,  known  on  the  island  as  Masher  2d 
858,  P.  S.,  and  he  had  been  four  times  first  over  the  island, 
second  once,  and  third  twice,  besides  winning  the  Queen's 
prize  for  the  best  bull  in  1895.  He  was  without  doubt  one 
of  the  best  bulls  of  the  breed,  having  eight  advanced  register 
daughters  and  six  advanced  register  sons.  This  bull  was  of 
a  pronounced  dairy  type,  beautiful  in  color,  head,  and  carriage. 
I  well  remember  the  great  impression  he  made  upon  me  the 
first  time  that  I  saw  him.  His  son,  France's  Masher  2d  7248, 
was  first  prize  in  1900  and  was  imported  in  1901  by  Louis 
Cabot,  of  Dublin,  N.  H.,  and  later  sold  to  S.  M.  Shoemaker, 
of  Eccleston,  Md.  He  had  28  registered  daughters  in  this 
country,  13  of  them  having  records  up  to  739.4  pounds  of  fat, 
and  three  advanced  register  sons.  Cock  of  the  Walk  8116, 
a  foundation  stock  bull  that  very  few  American  breeders 
fancied,  nevertheless  proved  to  be  a  good  sire.  Among  the 
many  good  animals  that  he  sired  is  Spotswood  Daisy  Pearl 
7696,  that  made  a  record  of  957.38  pounds  of  fat,  being  the 
largest  record  made  by  any  cow  up  to  that  time.

In  September,  1902,  Mr.  Twombly  imported  the  bull  May 
Rose  King  8336,  a  dark-colored,  smoky-nosed  bull  and  a  son 
of  May  Rose  2d  3648,  E.  G.  H.  B.,  at  a  reported  cost  of  $4,500. 
The  records  show  that  he  was  not  accorded  such  opportunities 
in  the  Florham  herd  as  was  Sheet  Anchor,  but  he  proved  to 
be  much  superior  as  a  sire.  He  had  in  all  29  registered 
daughters,  and  of  this  number  21  have  qualified  for  the  ad- 
vanced registry,  with  average  records  up  to  852.56  pounds  but-

ter-fat.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  this  bull  was  not  given  a 
greater  opportunity,  for  without  doubt  he  would  have  made 
an  even  more  wonderful  record  for  himself. 

In  1902  V.  Everitt  Macy  imported  the  bull  Financier  8571, 
a  bull  carrying  the  blood  of  the  Masher  family  on  his  sire's 
side  and  of  'the  May  Roses  on  his  dam's  side,  that  has  eight 
advanced  register  daughters  with  records  up  to  610.15  pounds 
of  fat;  and  Masher's  Galore  8572,  the  bull  that,  as  his  name 
indicates,  was  inbred  to  the  Masher  family,  and  that  had  14 
advanced  registry  daughters  with  records  up  to  594.53  pounds 
of  fat  and  four  advanced  register  sons,  one  of  which,  King 
Masher  11084,  is  doing  wonderful  work  in  Dr.  James  E.  Rus- 
sell's herd.

Imp.   Golden  Secret  of  Lilyvale   10028. 

In  1905  Mr.  Twombly  imported  the  bull  Golden  Noble 
10580,  that  has  four  advanced  register  sons  and  18  registered 
daughters,  four  of  which  have  advanced  register  records  up 
to  692.87  pounds  of  fat.  He  is  perhaps  even  better  known 
because  of  his  son,  Golden  Noble  2d  1836,  P.  S.,  the  record  of 
whose  daughters  stamp  him  as  the  most  prepotent  sire  ever 
used  on  the  island.  It  is  a  great  shame  that  he  was  killed 
when  he  was  young  and  before  his  worth  as  a  sire  was  proved. 
Every  daughter  of  his  seems  to  be  a  good  one,  and  at  this 
writing  24  of  them  have  advanced  register  records  up  to  835.47 
pounds  of  fat.  He  has  also  four  advanced  register  sons.  On 
the  island  six  of  his  daughters  have  made  records  up  to  698.54 
pounds  of  fat. 

Mr.  Price  in  his  importations  brought  over  a  good  many 
bulls,  and  among  them  was  Governor  I  of  the  Chene  10563, 
that  was  sold  at  auction  to  John  C.  Higgins,  Delaware  City, 
Del.  When  I  went  with  Mr.  Barber  a  few  years  ago  to  pur- 
•  chase  Mr.  Higgins'  herd  we  were  very  much  impressed  with 
the  young  daughters  of  this  bull,  and  the  work  that  they  are 
now  doing  stamps  him  as  one  of  the  most  prepotent  of  Guern- 
sey sires.  Among  his  advanced  register  daughters  are  Julie 
of  the  Chene  30460,  with  a  record  of  953.53  pounds  of  fat; 
Jehanna  Chene  30889,  that  holds  the  junior  three-year-old

131 


record  of  863.36  pounds  of  fat ;  Governor's  Pauline  30472,  with 
844.47  pounds  of  fat;  Princess  of  the  Chene  30461,  with  739.33 
pounds  of  fat;  and  six  others,  each  with  a  record  of  over  600 
pounds  of  fat.  He  has  a  total  of  21  advanced  register  daugh- 
ters, out  of  51  registered  daughters. 

Another  most  notable  bull  of  the  Price  importations  was 
Golden  Secret  of  Lilyvale  10028  which,  like  Golden  Noble, 
was  sired  by  Golden  Secret  12599.  This  bull  has  proved  a 
remarkable  sire  in  the  herd  of  T.  W.  &  I.  W.  Roberts,  Bala, 
Pa.  Among  his  13  advanced  register  daughters  was  Nellie 
Jay  4th  38233,  with  a  record  as  a  junior  two-year-old  of  736.32 
pounds  of  fat. 

In  September,  1906,  J.  L.  Hope  imported  the  bull  Masher's 
Sequel  11462  and  sold  him  at  once  to  R.  &  H.  Scoville,  Chapin- 
ville,  Conn.  This  bull  now  leads  all  bulls  of  the  breed  in  the 
number  of  advanced  register  daughters,  having  66  that  have 
qualified  up  to  1916,  with  more  under  test.  He  has  also  19 
advanced  register  sons  up  to  date.  This  bull  was  rather  under 
size,  plain  at  the  shoulders,  and  not  good  enough  to  be  called 
a  show  animal,  but  the  high  quality  of  his  daughters  attest

his  prepotency  as  a  sire.     His  blood  breeds  on,  as  is  proved 
by  the  work  of  many  of  his  sons  and  daughters. 

Raymond  of  the  Preel  11353,  a  son  of  Masher's  Sequel, 
that  has  three  times  been  second  prize  bull  on  the  island,  and 
that  had  for  a  dam  Justinee  I  4054,  P.  S.,  a  cow  that  had  won 
first  on  the  island,  was  imported  by  Alfred  G.  Lewis.  This 
bull  had  splendid  opportunities,  and  for  a  time  his  blood  was 
largely  sought  after,  but  the  majority  of- his -daughters  have 
proved  to  be  only  ordinary  producers.  Few  breeders  are  now 
using  this  line  of  blood.

Another  son  of  Golden  Secret,  St.  Amant  11600,  imported 
by  A.  A.  Housman,  proved  to  be  an  excellent  sire,  having 
four  advanced  register  daughters,  with  records  up  to  657.29 
pounds  of  fat.  He  has  but  10  daughters  registered  in  all. 

Among  the  good  bulls  that  Mr.  Benham  imported  was 
Holden  4th  12179,  which  sired  Miranda  of  Edgewater  30870, 
with  730.4  pounds  of  fat  at  three  years  of  age ;  and  Cherry  of 
Edgewater  38143,  the  leader  in  Class  G,  with  a  record  of  732.97 
pounds  of  fat;  and  other  good  ones. 

In  his  first  importation,  Mr.  Bierne  brought  over  Golden

daughters,  with  records  up  to  684.05  pounds  of  fat,  and  six 
advanced  register  sons. 

Mr.  Lewis  in  1907  imported  Billy's  France  12476,  a  full- 
brother  of  Raymond  of  the  Preel  above  mentioned.  He  was 
so  much  talked  of  that  10  of  his  daughters  sold  for  an  average 
price  of  $1,000  each,  but  few  of  them  are  proving  little  more 
than  ordinary  cows. 

In  February,  1909,  W.  W.  Marsh  imported  the  bull  Lord 
Mar  14359,  that  won  first  prize  in  the  aged  bull  class  on  the

island  in  1908.  He  now  has  27  advanced  register  daughters, 
with  records  up  to  674.91  pounds  of  fat.  Among  the  number 
are  Jessy  Rose  X  28373,  that  was  grand  champion  at  the 
National  Dairy  Show  in  1913  arid  that  recently  finished  a 
record  of  646.03  pounds  of  fat  as  a  three-year-old. 

In  Mr.  Barber's  first  importation  I  brought  over  the  bull 
The  Conqueror  2d  15325,  and  he  now  has  16  advanced  register 
daughters,  the  best  one  being  Daisy  Moon  3d  28471,  with  a 
record  of  928.39  pounds  of  fat.  Another  good  daughter  was 
Imp.  Violet  4th  of  the  Corbinez  32405,  756.72  pounds  fat.

Sequel,  which  now  has  17  advanced  register  daughters,  with 
records  up  to  583.24  pounds  of  fat;  and  lastly  the  great  bull 
Galaxy's  Sequel  16904,  that  three  times  won  first  prize  on  the 
islands  and  also  won  the  King's  Cup  in  1906.  He  was  im- 
ported jointly  by  Mr.  Marsh  and  myself  in  1910,  and  sold 
to  Myron  C.  Wick,  of  Chestnut  Hill  Farm.  He  has  up  to  date 
39  advanced  register  daughters,  with  records  up  to  716.16 
pounds  of  fat. 

Breeders  and  dairymen  in  America  are  constantly  asking 
about  the  comparative  merits  of  island  and  home-bred  cattle. 
If  our  official  yearly  testing  means  what  we  think  it  should, 
it  ought  to  be  true  that  the  American-bred  animals  backed  up 
by  these  records  are  better  on  an  average  than  the  island-bred 
ones.  But  at  the  same  time  it  should  be  remembered  that 
much  more  culling  has  been  done  on  the  island  than  in  this 
country,  which  may  more  than  offset  the  more  intelligent 
breeding  that  the  records  make  possible. 

The  following  comparisons  may  be  of  interest.  There 
are  1,015  imported  and  2,969  American-bred  cows  entered  in 
the  advanced  registry,  and  of  these  24.7  per  cent  of  the  im- 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


135 


ported  and  15.3  per  cent  of  the  American-bred  have  records 
of  over  500  pounds  of  fat.  In  other  words,  the  proportion  of 
imported  cows  having-  records  above  500  pounds  of  fat  is  61 
per  cent  greater  than  that  of  American-bred  animals. 

The  oldest  cow  in  the  advanced  registry  is  4885  Casseopia. 
Up  to  advanced  register  cow  3984,  the  last  registered  cow  in 
the  advanced  registry  is  Jennie  Glenwood  of  Iverness  54504, 
A.  R.  3954,  so  that  the  total  number  registered  between 
these  numbers,  4885  and  54504,  would  be  49,619.  Of  this 
number  6,103  were  imported.  As  stated  previously,  there  are 
1,015  imported  cows  in  the  advanced  registry  out  of  the  first 
3,984,  which  would  show  that  16.63  per  cent  of  all  the  im- 
ported cows  are  in  the  advanced  registry.  Deducting  the  im- 
ported cattle  from  the  total  number  would  leave  43,416  Amer- 
ican^bred  cows,  of  which  2,969,  or  6.85  per  cent,  are  in  the 
advanced  registry. 

My  own  opinion  is  that  we  need  every  good  Guernsey 
cow  that  we  can  get  in  this  country,  no  matter  whether  she 
is  home-bred  or  imported,  and  we  should  get  ride  of  the  poor 
ones,  no  matter  where  they  were  bred. 

The  development  of  the  "breed  in  the  United  States  has 
been  in  the  hands  of  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club, 
which  was  organized  Feb.  7,  1877,  at  the  Astor  House,  New 
York  City,  the  following  persons  being  present:  Dr.  Charles 


Galaxy's    Sequel    16904,   imported  by  W.   W.   Marsh  and   Charles   L.    Hill.      He   has 
39  Advanced  Registry  daughters  with  yearly  records  up  to  640.67  pounds  of  fat.

W.  H.   CALDWELL 
Secretary   of  the  American   Guernsey   Cattle   Club. 

The  following  were  the  first  officers  of  the  club :  President, 
Dr.  Charles  R.  King,  Andalusia,  Pa.;  secretary  and  treasurer; 
Edward  Norton,  Farmington,  Conn. ;  executive  committee. 
Thomas  M.  Harvey,  West  Grove,  Pa. ;  James  P.  Swain  Jr., 
Bronxville,  N.  Y. ;  James  M.  Codman,  Brookline,  Mass. ;  Silas 
Betts,  Camden,  N.  J. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  137 

The  first  annual  meeting  of  the  club  was  held  Dec.  19, 
1877,  and  at  that  time  it  was  reported  that  60  bulls  and  133 
cows  had  been  entered  in  the  herd  book  by  40  different 
breeders. 

Mr.  Norton  continued  as  secretary  until  his  death  in  1894, 
when  W.  H.  Caldwell,  the  present  secretary,  was  elected.  The 
club  has  been  very  fortunate  in  having  had  but  these  two 
capable  and  efficient  secretaries  in  all  of  these  years  of  its 
existence.  Dr.  King  served  as  president  until  1882,  when  Dr. 
J.  N.  Borland,  of  Connecticut,  was  elected  and  served  until 
1887.  Silas  Betts  of  New  Jersey  served  seven  years  from  1888 
to  1895,  inclusive,  when,  at  his  death,  James  M.  Codman  of 
Massachusetts  was  elected  and  served  until  1912.  Charles  L. 
Hill,  of  Wisconsin,  was  elected  in  1912,  serving  two  years, 
when  James  Logan  Fisher,  of  Pennsylvania,  was  elected. 

The  scale  of  points  adopted  by  the  club  in  1877  was  as 
follows : 

Counts  Points 

Quality  of  milk 30 

Skin  deep  yellow,  in  ear,  on  end  of  bone  of  tail,  at  base  of

For  bulls,  deduct  20  counts  for  udder. 
For  heifers,  deduct  20  counts  for  udder. 


138  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

The  only  change  made  in  this  score  card  in  the  next  10 
years  was  to  take  two  points  from  the  escutcheon  and  add 
them  to  "udder  teats  of  good  size,"  and  note  under  score  card 
said,  "for  bulls,  deduct  18  counts  for  udder." 

At  the  annual  meeting  held  in  December,  1898,  W.  D. 
Hoard,  J.  M.  Codman  and  Secretary  Caldwell  were  appointed 
a  committee  to  revise  the  score  card,  and  December  13,  1899, 
the  following  scale  was  adopted :

At  a  meeting  of  the  club  held  at  Chicago,  October,  1914, 
the  question  of  again  revising  the  score  card  was  brought  up 
and  a  committee  consisting  of  the  executive  committee,  the 
president,  secretary,  and  J.  M.  Codman,  J.  L.  Hope,  Frank 
Fox,  H.  W.  Griswold,  W.  L.  Erbach  and  J.  E.  Russell  was 
elected  to  revise  the  score  card. 

The  growth  of  the  business  of  the  club  has  been  gratifying 
and  continuous.  The  report  of  the  treasurer  of  the  club,  at 
the  eighth  annual  meeting,  showed  a  total  business  for  the 
year  of  $1,629.  At  the  24th  annual  meeting,  in  1901,  the  treas- 
urer's report  showed  business  of  $9,710.25,  while  at  the  38th 
annual  meeting  in  1915  it  showed  a  business  of  $86,309.06, 


CHAPTER  V. 

The  First  Private  and  Official  Tests 

What  is  believed  to  be  the  first  record  of  a  Channel 
Islands  cow  made  and  published  in  the  United  States  is  found 
in  Vol.  IV.,  page  115,  of  the  "Memoirs  of  the  Philadelphia 
Society  for  the  Promotion  of  Agriculture."  It  is  quoted  here 
from  Vol.  I.  of  the  Herd  Registry  of  the  American  Jersey 
Cattle  Club,  page  21. 

"I  have  upon  my  farm  on  the  Delaware  a  cow  of  the  Alderney 
breed,  imported  a  short  time  since  by  Mr.  Wurts.  She  has  been  fed 
in  the  usual  way  with  potatoes,  and  during  the  last  week  the  milk 
from  her  was  kept  separate  and  yielded  8  pounds  of  butter.  The 
cow  is  a  small  animal,  and  is  supported  with  less  food  than  our 
ordinary  stock. 

"By  communicating  this  fact  to  the  society,  it  will  oblige,  etc. 
"January  11,  1817.  RICHARD  MORRIS. 

"P.  S. — The  cow  is  three  years  old. 

"To  Roberts-Vaux,  Secretary  of  the  Philadelphia  Society  for 
Promoting  Agriculture." 

In  a  note  on-  the  same  page  it  is  stated  "that  the  cow 
above  referred  to  is  now  in  the  possession  of  another  member 
of  the  Agricultural  Society ;  and  after  a  fair  trial  made  with 
her  during  last  summer  (1817)  the  superior  richness  of  her 
milk,  when  compared  with  that  of  other  cows,  has  been  fully 
tested.  She  gave  9l/2  pounds  of  extremely  rich,  highly-colored 
butter  per  week." 

Another  mention  of  the  same  cow  will  be  found  in  the 
fifth  volume  of  the  same  work,  page  47,  viz : 

"Germantown,  Oct.  20,  1818. 

"With  this  you  will  receive  a  pound  of  butter  made  from  the 
Alderney  cow  imported  in  1815  by  Maurice  and  William  Wurts,  i-nd 
now  in  my  possession.  She  calved  on  the  13th  of  last  month,  and  is 
now  in  fine  condition,  running  on  excellent  pasture  of  orchard  grass 
and  white  clover,  and  gives  on  an  average  about  14  quarts  of  milk 
per  day.  From  this  quantity,  during  the  week  end'ing  the  7th  instant, 
we  obtained  10  quarts  of  cream,  which  produced  8  pounds  2  ounces 
of  butter,  and  the  week  succeeding  10^  quarts,  which  gave  8^4  pounds 
of  the  quality  of  the  sample  sent.  You  will  perceive  it  is  of  so  rich 
a  yellow  that  it  might  be  suspected  that  some  foreign  coloring  mat- 
ter had*  been  added  to  it;  but  you  may  rely  on  it  this  is  not  the  case. 
I  add  that  one  of  the  good  properties  of  this  valuable  breed  of  cattle 
is  the  ease  with  which  the  cream  is  churned,  requiring  but  a  few 
minutes  to  convert  it  into  butter.  When  a  proper  opportunity  occurs, 
I  shall  endeavor  to  ascertain  the  quantity  and  quality  of  butter  to  be 
obtained  per  week  from  the  Derry  cow,  imported  this  summer  from 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  141 

Ireland',  and  the  Brittany  cow  from  France,  both  of  which  breeds  I 
have  pure. 

"I    remain    respectfully, 

"REUBEN  RAINES. 
"Richard  Peters,  Esq." 

In  Chapter  III.  there  is  given  a  partial  record  of  the  cow 
Guernsey  184,  A.  G.  C.  C.,  which  indicates  that  she  was  up 
to  the  standard  of  the  breed  of  today.  Her  daughter,  Katie 
189,  is  credited  with  14  pounds  5  ounces  of  butter  in  a  week, 
which  record  was  probably  made  before  1860. 

In  1854  Thomas  Motley  published  a  yearly  butter  record 
of  the  Jersey  cow  Flora  113,  A.  J.  C.  C.,  which  was  511  pounds 
2  ounces  of  churned  butter.  It  would  seem  that  this  splendid 
record  should  have  early  stimulated  owners  of  all  breeds  of 
cows  to  make  yearly  butter  records,  but,  of  course,  such  rec- 
ords involved  much  work  and  attention.  I  think  no  yearly 
butter  record  of  a  Guernsey  cow  was  ever  published,  though, 
following  this  record  of  Flora's,  several  private  yearly  records 
were  published  of  Jersey  cows  and  some  of  other  breeds. 

A  few  weekly  butter  records  were  made  almost  as  early  as 
that  recorded  of  Katie,  and  many  since.  While  they  are  of  but 
little  value  in  judging  a  cow,  still  such  records  are  all  we  have 
of  many  of  our  early  Guernseys.  As  the  list  of  weekly  butter 
records  has  not  been  published  for  some  years,  it  may  be  of 
interest  to  many  who  have  but  recently  commenced  the  breed- 
ing of  Guernseys.  Many  of  these  were  fat  records  with  20  per 
cent  added  for  overrun.

records  was  made  previous  to  1870.  The  only  reason  that  can 
be  given  why  more  weekly  butter  records  were  not  made  by 
Guernsey  cows  is  that  the  majority  of  them  were  in  the  hands 
of  well-to-do  gentlemen  who  kept  them  to  supply  their  own 
and  their  friends'  tables  with  milk,  cream  and  butter.  Know- 
ing the  worth  of  their  cows  and  having  a  ready  market  for  the 
increase  of  their  herds,  they  failed  to  become  imbued  with  the 
testing  idea.  The  same  could  be  said,  however,  of  Jersey 
breeders,  and  they  were  testing  their  cows.  It  may,  perhaps, 
be  true  also  that,  realizing  how  little  a  weekly  record  could 
be  depended  upon  as  a  real  gauge  of  a  cow's  value,  they  de- 
clined to  engage  in  this  kind  of  work. 

Guernsey  breeders  early  showed  an  inclination  toward 
yearly  records. 

The  cow,  Lily  Alexandre  1059,  made  the  following  yearly 
milk  record :

At  the  end  of  her  trial  she  was  still  giving  28  pounds  milk 
daily  and  was  within  two  months  of  calving.  The  chemical 
analysis  of  her  milk,  made  at  this  time,  showed  7.02  per  cent 
butter-fat,  so  she  must  have  been  a  cow  that  would  have  made 
a  large  yearly  fat  record  as  well. 

Ezra  Michener,  of  Lumberville,  Pa.,  reported  the  follow- 
ing very  good  record  of  his  cow,  Euphemia  2005,  for  the  year 
ending  April  15,  1889:  8,685.75  pounds  milk,  and  three  butter 
records  made  in  the  second,  fourth,  and  sixth  months  after 
calving  of,  respectively,  15,  11  and  9  pounds  of  butter  per 
week.  He  estimated  that  she  made  at  least  511  pounds  of 
butter  for  the  year. 

The  Bab  cock  test  was  invented  in  1890  by  Dr.  S.  M.  Bab- 
cock,  professor  of  chemistry  in  the  University  of  Wisconsin. 
The  whole  dairy  world  has  him  to  thank  for  a  method  of 
easily,  cheaply  and  quickly  determining  the  butter  value  of 
milk,  which  made  it  possible  to  test  a  cow  for  the  year  with 
very  much  less  work  than  with  a  churn,  and  also  affording 
greater  accuracy  as  far  as  the  cow's  work  was  concerned. 

On  February  28,  1891,  I  reported  to  Hoard's  Dairyman 
a  weekly  butter-fat  record  for  the  cow,  Imp.  Regina  2691,  the 
record  being  283.75  pounds  milk,  testing  13.59  pounds  fat,  and 
this  I  believe  to  be  the  first  butter-fat  record  reported. 

The  yearly  milk  and  fat  records  made  in  the  herd  of  N. 
K.  Fairbank,  of  Chicago,  whose  farm  was  at  Lake  Geneva, 
Wis.,  had  much  to  do  in  bringing  about  a  sentiment  that  led 
to  the  general  adoption  of  the  yearly  record  system.  W.  H. 
Lawrence,  who  had  charge  of  the  herd  the  22  years  of  its 
existence,  was  always  fully  as  much  interested  as  the  owner, 
and  great  credit  should  be  given  both  of  these  gentlemen  for 
the  work  done  by  that  herd. 

This  herd  was  founded  by  the  purchase  of  three  head  in 
February,  1881.  Commencing  with  the  year  1883,  an  account 
was  kept  of  every  pound  of  milk  produced  by  each  individual 
cow  until  the  dispersion  of  the  herd  in  1903.  I  still  have  in 
my  possession  the  books  in  which  the  records  were  kept  dur- 
ing these  20  years,  and  they  contain  so  much  material  for 
thought  and  instruction  as  to  make  it  worth  while  to  publish 
the  data  in  this  book.

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


Until  the  invention  of  the  Babcock  test,  Mr.  Fairbank 
made  frequent  churn  tests  of  his  cows,  so  that  he  kept  well 
informed  of  their  butter  production  as  well.  Commencing  in 
1892,  fat  tests  were  made  of  the  milk  each  month  and  the 
percentages  used  in  computing  the  approximate  totals  for  the 
yearly  fat  records.  I  feel  sure  that  the  records  of  this  herd 
will  be  found  of  interest:

Mr.  Fairbank  was  careful  to  publish  a  summary  of  each 
record  every  year  or  two  as  the  work  progressed,  and  I  know 
it  was  the  reading  of  these  accounts  that  first  inspired  me  to 
take  up  work  along  the  same  line.  From  the  time  that  our 
first  Guernsey  heifer  freshened,  in  March,  1888,  we  weighed 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  149 

the  milk  of  every  pure-bred  Guernsey  in  the  herd,  and  have 
continued  to  do  so  to  the  present.  We  began  to  keep  yearly 
fat  records  in  1892. 

Yearly  records  of  the  Ellerslie  herd,  owned  by  Levi  P. 
Morton,  were  carefully  kept ;  and  under  date  of  February  16, 
1893,  Superintendent  W.  M.  Cottrell  reported  to  Hoard's 
Dairyman  that  the  average  yield  per  head  for  the  62  cows  and 
heifers  that  had  had  a  year's  work  completed  was  6,119.75 
pounds  of  milk.  The  individual  records  over  6,000  pounds 
milk  were  as  follows :

In  August,  1893,  the  Morton  barn  was  unfortunately 
destroyed  by  fire  and  only  one  cow  of  the  original  herd 
escaped  death.  Records  were  again  kept  of  the  new  herd,  of 
which  the  following  is  a  list  that  includes  every  animal  that 
completed  a  year's  work  in  1896,  and  only  such  cows  as  did 
complete  such  records  are  given :

Those  marked  with  *  were  imported  and  arrived  at  the  farm  December  31,  1894. 

"From  the  above  it  will  be  seen  that  15  cows  completed'  a  year's 
work.  Their  average  butter  yield  was  417.90  pounds;  average  milk 
yield,  6,626  pounds;  15.85  pounds  milk  to  a  pound  of  butter.  Their 
average  age  at  commencement  of  year  was  3  years  and  8  months. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


153 


Six  of  the  number  were  newly  imported  and  only  reached  the  farm 
on  the  last  day  of  1894,  and  seven  of  the  15  were  exhibited  at  from 
one  to  four  fairs  during  the  year.  These  facts  are  mentioned  because 
the  acclimation  process  (which  is  usually  considered  to  take  a  year) 
and  the  excitement  incident  to  exhibiting  tend  materially  to  reduce 
the  year's  record.  Of  the  younger  division,  five  were  newly  im- 
ported and  five  went  the  round  of  fairs. 

"J.  L.  Hope,  Superintendent." 

George  C.  Hill  &  Son  reported  the  following  record  for 
12  cows  for  the  year  1893 : 

"The  following  are  the  Guernsey  cows  in  our  herd  that  have 
completed'  yearly  records  since  we  tested  every  month  or  oftener. 
Number  12  did  not  have  a  calf  till  four  years  old,  and  she  became  so 
fat  it  ruined  her  and  she  has  gone  for  beef.

or  more  cows  and  some  of  them  are  worthy  of  particular  men- 
tion.   That  of  the  cow  Fantine  2d  3730,  A.  G.  C.  C.,  owned  by

In  this  record  there  is  one  important  point  to  take  into 
account.  Not  only  did  Fantine  2d  give  this  large  amount  of 
milk  and  butter-fat,  but  she  was  dry  during  the  month  of 
September  and  a  part  of  October  and  then  gave  birth  to  a 
fine  bull  calf.  This  makes  the  record  one  of  11  months  in- 
stead of  a  full  year. 

During  her  year's  work  she  was  fed  as  follows :  In  winter 
her  daily  ration  consisted  of  40  pounds  of  ensilage,  10  pounds 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  155 

of  cut  stover,  8  pounds  of  mixed  hay ;  and  of  grain,  12  pounds 
of  a  mixture  of  oats,  bran,  and  dried  brewers'  grain,  with  2 
pounds  of  oil  meal.  The  ensilage  was  rich  in  corn,  and  she 
was  allowed  in  addition  to  this  what  wheat  straw  she  cared 
to  eat.  On  April  1st  she  was  turned  out  to  pasture  with  the 
rest  of  the  herd  and  her  grain  ration  reduced  to  6  pounds. 
The  latter  part  of  July  she  was  fed  soiling  crops  with  the  rest 
of  the  herd. 

Two  other  cows,  not  otherwise  mentioned,  made  over 
500  ponnds  fat.  One  was  Yeksa  Queen  631,  owned  by  A.  J. 
Philips,  of  West  Salem,  Wis.,-  that  gave  9,886.9  pounds  milk, 
5.2  per  cent  fat,  yielding  514.1  pounds  fat.  The  other  one  was 
Glenwood  Girl  2d  9108,  that  gave  9,944.7  pounds  milk  and 
508  pounds  fat. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Guernsey  Breeders'  Association 
held  June  8,  1894,  it  was  suggested  "that  premiums  be  offered 
to  breeders  to  induce  them  to  breed  for  test.  There  seems 
to  be  no  end  of  records  for  the  Jerseys  and  Holsteins  but  a 
veritable  dearth  of  Guernsey  tests.  The  advancement  of  the 
breed  demands  more  thorough  and  systematic  testing.  The 
subject  was  not  discussed  at  length  but  was  left  for  a  future 
meeting1." 

October  26,  1894,  at  a  meeting  of  this  association  in  Phila- 
delphia, the  following  rules  were  drawn  up  under  which  tests 
were  to  be  carried  on  by  this  association : 

"The  samples  must  be  secured  for  one  day  of  each  week,  care 
being  exercised  to  have  these  (which  should  be  taken  as  soon  as 
milked)  well  mixed. 

"The  cows  must  be  milked  out  clean  and  at  regular  hours,  morn- 
ing and  evening,  and'  equal  samples  taken  from  the  entire  product  of 
the  two  milkings,  properly  cooled  and  delivered  to  Marshall  and 
Cochran,  chemists,  315  North  Fifth  street,  Philadelphia,  in  condition 
satisfactory  to  them.  The  bottles  must  be  full  to  prevent  churning. 

"All  expenses  connected  with  the  tests  to  be  paid  by  the  con- 
testants. If  any  test  appears  phenomenally  high,  or  if,  for  any  rea- 
son, the  executive  committee  sees  fit,  they,  or  any  one  whom  they 
may  deputize,  are  at  liberty  to  visit  the  dairies  and  take  samples  for 
themselves  during  the  period  of  testing. 

>  "Postal  cards  will  be  furnished  all  members  making  tests,  on 
which  will  be  blank  forms  to  be  filled  and  sent  monthly  to  the  secre- 
tary; this  data  to  be  formulated  and  given  out  at  our  meetings  from 
time  to  time. 

"The  testing  will  commence  12th  month  (December)  1,  1894, 
and  persons  cannot  enter  for  the  first  year  later  than  fourth  month 
(April)  1,  1895.  Report  on  first  year's  tests  to  be  made  fourth  month, 
1st,  1896.  Any  one  wishing  to  start  in  advance  of  above  date  may 
do  so  by  notifying  the  secretary  and  complying  with  these  rules. 


156  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

Anyone  desiring  to  enter  contest  between  fourth  month  1st,  1895,  and 
fourth  month  1st,  1896,  may  do  so;  said  tests  to  be  counted  in  the 
second  year,  which  will  end  fourth  month  1st,  1897,  as  it  is  deter- 
mined to  carry  on  the  work  for  at  least  two  years.  The  contest  is 
for  individual  tests  and  for  largest  yield  of  butter-fat  in  a  year.  The 
yearly  award's  will  be  as  follows:  First  prize,  $100;  second  prize, 
$50;  third  prize,  $25. 

"One  hundred  dollars  of  this  amount  to  be  assumed'  by  the  asso- 
ciation, the  balance  of  yearly  awards  to  be  raised  by  contribution. 
Competitors  may  enter  more  than  one  cow  if  desired,  keeping  records 
individually.  Members  of  the  Guernsey  Breeders'  Association  only 
are  at  liberty  to  compete  for  the  prizes.  All  animals  competing  must 
be  registered  in  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  Herd  Register. 

"The  association  will  be  glad  to  enroll  as  members  other  breed- 
ers. Terms  of  admission  will  'be  furnished  by  the  secretary  on  appli- 
cation. All  persons  wishing  to  compete  will  please  apply  to  the  secre- 
tary for  blanks  as  early  as  possible.  It  is  desired  that  this  effort  will 
be  fruitful  of  lasting  results,  and'  breeders  are  urged  to  take  hold  in 
earnest  in  the  behalf  of  the  good  work." 

"W.  B.  Harvey,  Secretary. 

"West  Grove,  Pa.,  Nov.  1,  1894." 

The  results*  of  the  first  year's  work  were  announced  as 
follows : 

"First  prize,  King's  Myra  5399,  made  539.48  pounds  of  butter. 
She  was  fresh  December  12,  1893;  served  January,  1895.  Owner,  Ezra 
Michener,  Carversville,  Pa. 

"Second  prize,  Imported  Beauty  des  Domaines  3d  4933,  made 
504.77  pounds  of  butter.  She  was  fresh  September  25,  1894;  served 
February  7,  1895;  and  is  six  years  old.  Test  commenced  October, 
1894.  Owner,  Henry  W.  Comfort,  Fallsington,  Pa. 

"Third  prize,  Mary  Marshall  5604,  made  485.55  pounds  of  butter. 
She  was  fresh  March  16,  1895;  served  April  3,  1895;  and  is  four  years 
old.  Test  commenced  March,  1895.  Owner,  Ezra  Michener,  Car- 
versville, Pa. 

"The  cows  winning  first  and  third  prizes  were  fed  a  liberal  but  by 
no  means  an  excessive  ration,  varying  through  the  year,  of  wheat, 
bran,  corn  meal,  cottonseed  and  oil  cake,  glucose,  hay  and  fodder, 
in  varying  proportions.  A  sample  winter  month  reading  as  follows: 
Three  quarts  each  of  wheat,  bran,  and  glucose,  one  quart  each  ot 
cottonseed  and  oil  meal,  and  some  hay. 

"The  second  prize  cow,  at  about  the  same  time  of  year,  had  en- 
silage, 6  pounds  of  bran,  3  pounds  cerealine,  3  pounds  cottonseed 
meal,  and  a  little  hay. 

"Summer  sample  rations  for  same  cows  are  as  follows:  First  and 
third  prize,  pasture  and  four  quarts  of  wheat  bran,  four  quarts  of 
glucose,  and  one  quart  of  cotton  seed  meal  per  day.  Second  prize, 
grass  and  eight  quarts  of  bran  per  day. 

"The  differences  in  food  given  did  not  affect  the  award,  but  were 
mad'e  a  part  of  the  record  for  the  instruction  of  the  members. 

"John  C.  Higgins  entered  Pomara  3d  1743 — dropped  April  22, 
1882 — made  443  pounds  of  butter;  Golden  Horn's  Mary  8975 — dropped 
November  23,  1892 — mad'e  407.9  pounds  of  butter.  These  cows  had 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  157 

grass  only  from  May  10th  to  September  10th.  The  rest  of  their  ex- 
treme daily  ration  was  eight  quarts  bran,  one  quart  cottonseed  meal, 
one  bushel  corn  ensilage  and  clover  hay  at  night.  Golden  Horn's 
Mary's  test  was  after  the  first  calf,  April  17,  1895,  to  April  1,  1896;  in 
the  meantime  she  dropped  a  calf,  March  12,  1896." 

The  society  voted  to  continue  the  work  another  year. 
The  results  for  the  second  year  were  as  follows :  First  prize, 
Imp.  Beauty  des  Domaines  3d  4933,  giving  535.39  pounds  but- 
ter; second  prize,  Mary  Marshall  5604,  with  511.25  pounds 
butter ;  third  prize,  Jessie  H.  4348,  with  479.25  pounds  butter. 
The  first  named  was  owned  by  H.  W.  Comfort,  of  Fallsing- 
ton,  and  the  last  named  by  Ezra  Michener,  Lumberville,  Pa. 

In  the  fall  of  1896  the  writer,  following  the  private  yearly 
fat  records  being  made  in  several  herds  and  noting  the  inter- 
est and  favorable  comments  in  the  agricultural  press,  wrote 
a  letter  to  the  executive  committee  of  the  American  Guernsey 
Cattle  Club,  urging  them  to  take  up  this  work  and  offer  some 
prizes  for  the  best  records  made  in  this  way.  At  a  meeting- 
of  the  committee  in  December,  1896,  they  appointed  Secretary 
Caldwell  and  the  author  as  a  sub-committee  to  take  the  matter 
under  consideration  and  report  at  the  next  annual  meeting, 
which  they  did.  The  matter  was  freely  discussed  and  a  res- 
olution was  passed  "that  it  is  the  sense  of  this  meeting  that 
butter  tests  should  be  started  and  that  the  matter  of  conduct- 
ing them  should  be  left  with  the  executive  committee  with 
power  to  act." 

In  July  the  following  rules  were  published : 
Butter  Test  for  Guernsey  Cattle. 

"The  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  offers  the  following  prem- 
iums for  the  cows  or  herds  of  Guernseys  making  the  three  best  rec- 
ords for  butterfat  for  the  year,  under  the  conditions  hereafter  named. 

"For  individual  cows— $50,  $30,  $20. 

"For  herds  of  five  cows  each,  $100,  $60,  $40. 

"1.  All  animals  competing  must  be  registered  in  the  herd  regis- 
ter of  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club. 

"2.  The  following  entry  fees  shall  be  paid  to  the  treasurer  of 
the  club  on  receipt  of  notification  from  him  that  the  animals  named 
will  be  accepted'  for  competition,  but  no  animal  or  animals  shall  be 
enrolled  unless  said  fee  is  paid  before  the  opening  of  the  test.  For 
each  cow,  $5.  For  each  herd  entered,  $15. 

"3.  Each  contestant  shall  be  allowed  to  name  seven  animals 
for  the  herd  prize,  the  results  to  be  determined  from  the  records  of 
the  five  best  animals. 

"4.  These  tests  shall  be  under  the  supervision  of  the  executive 
committee  of  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club,  but  any  member 


158  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

of  the  executive  committee  owning  animals  competing  in  said  tests 
shall  be  barred  from  having  any  supervision  of  said  test  or  tests.  All 
cows  shall  be  wholly  under  the  control  of  the  owner  so  far  as  feed- 
ing and  general  treatment  are  concerned. 

"5."  All  the  expenses  connected  with  the  tests  shall  be  paid  by 
the  contestants  except  those  incurred  by  carrying  out  the  provisions 
contained'  in  Rule  9. 

"6.  Each  year's  test  shall  commence  in  November;  the  first  test 
commencing  November  1,  1898.  All  animals  competing  shall  be 
named  at  least  30  days  prior  to  the  opening  of  each  test.  The  results 
of  each  test  shall  be  reported  to  the  annual  meeting  of  the  club,  when 
the  prizes  will  be  awarded. 

"7.  At  the  end  of  each  month  every  contestant  shall  report  to 
the  office  of  the  club  upon  blanks  furnished  them  for  such  purpose  by 
said  office: 

"a.     A  complete  record  of  the  weights  of  each  milking. 

"b.  An  approximate  statement  of  the  amount  and  kind  of  food 
given  the  animals,  and  as  to  the  manner  of  stabling  and  care  of 
same,  including  the  dates  of  service  or  when  in  heat  and  not  served. 

"8.  About  the  middle  of  each  month  samples  shall  be  taken  of 
the  night's  and  following  morning's  milk  and  sent  to  the  agricultural 
experiment  station  of  the  state  in  which  the  animal  is  located',  or  to 
such  place  as  may  be  directed  or  approved  by  the  executive  commit- 
tee, these  samples  to  be  properly  labeled  with  the  date  and  amount 
of  each  milking,  the  result  of  such  tests  to  be  reported  by  the  tester 
to  the  office  of  the  club. 

"9.  At  such  times  as  the  executive  committee  supervising  said 
test  or  tests  shall  see  fit,  but  at  least  twice  during  the  year,  they 
shall  send  anyone  whom  they  may  deputize  to  visit  the  herds  from 
which  animals  are  entered,  to  weigh  and  test  the  milk  from  cows 
competing. 

"10.  The  results  of  each  year's  tests  shall  be  computed  in  the 
following  manner:  The  weights  of  milk  produced  each  month  shall 
be  multiplied  by  the  per  cent  of  butterfat  as  shown  by  the  official 
test  for  that  month,  and  the  sum  of  the  results  thus  obtained  shall  be 
the  year's  record'." 

The  work  was  started  November  1,  1898,  and  the  three 
herds  of  Ellerslie  Stock  Farm,  Rhinecliff,  N.  Y. ;  Ezra  Mich- 
ener,  Carversville,  Pa.;  and  Geo.  C.  Hill  &  Son,  Rosendale, 
Wis.,  were  entered;  and  James  H.  Bierne,  of  Oakfield,  Wis., 
also  entered  two  single  cows.  A  summary  of  the  results  of 
the  first  year's  test  is  as  follows,  the  herd  of  Mr.  Michener 
being  withdrawn  during  the  year :

In  the  single  cow  contest  Mr.  Bierne  was  awarded  first 
and  second  prizes  and  Messrs.  Hill  third  prize.  In  the  herd 
test  Messrs.  Hill  won  first  and  Mr.  Morton  second  prize.  By 
a  strange  coincidence,  both  of  Mr.  Bierne's  cows  were  five 
years  old  and  both  calved  the  same  day.  They  were  bred  by 
N.  K.  Fairbank  at  his  place  at  Lake  Geneva,  Wis.,  and  were 
sired  by  his  bull  Lily's  Bonny  Boy  2676.  Lilyita's  dam  was 
Zoelita  5949,  out  of  Zoella  3301,  by  Nutwood  1408,  a  son  of 
the  noted  Materna  1334.  Lily  Ella  was  out  of  Zoella  3301,  so 
their  blood  lines  were  very  similar. 

A  very  interesting  account  of  Lily  Ella's  work  as  a  three- 
year-old  was  published  in  the  July,  1898,  Herd  Register  of  the 
American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club.  She  then  made  a  record 
after  first  calf  of  513.18  pounds  of  fat  in  one  year,  and  a  seven- 
day  record  of  16.68  pounds  of  fat.  The  following  table  pre- 
sents the  details  of  her  record  from  November  1,  1898,  to 
October  31,  1899.  A  study  of  this  table  shows  that  she  not 
only  made  her  record  of  782.16  pounds  of  butter-fat  but  she 
also  produced  during  the  year  a  living  calf,  she  being  dry 
eight  days  before  calving  and  for  two  days  after  calving  no 
account  being  taken  of  her  milk.  Lilyita's  record,  while  not 
quite  as  high  as  that  of  Lily  Ella,  was  made  under  similar 
conditions,  she  having  produced  a  living  calf  during  the  year 
and  was  dry  about  the  same  length  of  time.

These  records  attracted  the  attention  of  the  dairy  reading 
public  throughout  the  world,  and  people  traveled  from  all 
over  the  country  to  Oakfield  to  see  Mr.  Bierne's  herd.  The 
contest  was  so  successful  that  the  club  decided  to  continue  it, 
and  two  or  three  herds  and  some  single  cows  were  entered. 
All  shortly  withdrew,  however,  except  the  herd  of  Geo.  C. 
Hill  &  Son,  who,  at'Secretary  Caldwell's  suggestion,  also  dis- 
continued work  until  the  spring  of  1900,  except  for  the  one 
cow  Gypsy  of  Racine  9639,  that  promised  to  make  an  excep- 
tionally good  record,  which  when  completed  was  11,247.5 
pounds  of  milk,  containing  611.4  Ibs  of  fat. 

The  second  year's  contest  was  started  May  1,  1900.  Dur- 
ing this  test  a  state  official  visited  the  farms  every  month 
and  weighed  and  tested  a  day's  milk  of  each  cow,  the  owner 
keeping  a  record  of  the  weights  only.  The  records  made  in 
this  second  year's  competition  were  as  follows :

urged  the  establishment  of  an  advanced  registry  on  the  basis

162  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

of  the  yearly  production   of  butter-fat;    and  at  the  annual 
meeting  in  May,  1901,  the  following  rules  were  adopted: 
The  Advanced  Register  of  Guernsey  Cattle. 

"Wishing  to  encourage  the  rearing  and  breeding  of  Guernsey 
cattle  of  high  individual  record  in  production  of  dairy  products  and 
standard  of  excellence,  The  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  has 
adopted  the  following  rules  for  the  establishment  of  a  system  ot 
registry,  to  foe  known  as  The  Advanced  Register  of  Guernsey  Cattle 
in  America. 

Eligibility  of  Animals. 

"All  animals  admitted  to  the  advanced  register  must  previously 
be  entered  in  the  herd  register  of  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club. 
Any  such  will  be  admitted  into  the  advanced  register  under  any  one 
or  more  of  the  following  conditions: 

"Bulls — a.  Admitted  after  scaling  80  points  and  having  two 
daughters  in  the  register. 

"Bulls — b.  Admitted  without  scaling  after  having  two  daughters 
in  register. 

"Cows — a.  Admitted  for  milk  or  butterfat  records  and  scaling 
over  75  points. 

"Cows — b.  Admitted  for  milk  or  butterfat  records  without 
scaling. 

"All  cows  admitted  must  equal  or  exceed  one  of  the  following 
records. 

The  Milk  Requirement. 

"If  record  is  commenced  the  day  the  animal  is  two  years  old, 
or  previous  to  that  day,  she  must  produce  within  one  year  from  that 
date  6,000  pounds  of  milk.  For  each  day  the  animal  is  over  two 
years  old  at  the  beginning  of  her  year's  record,  the  amount  of  milk 
she  will  be  required,  to  produce  in  the  year  will  be  established  by 
adding  3.65  pounds  for  every  such  day  to  the  6,000  pounds  required 
when  two  years  old.  This  ratio  is  applicable  until  the  animal  is  five 
years  old,  when  the  required  amount  will  have  reached  10,000  pounds, 
which  will  be  the  amount  of  milk  required  of  all  cows  five  years  old 
or  over. 

The  Butterfat  Requirement. 

"If  record  is  commenced  the  day  the  animal  -is  two  years  old, 
or  previous  to  that  day,  she  must  produce  within  one  year  from  that 
date  250.5  pounds  of  butterfat.  For  each  day  the  animal  is  over  two 
years  old  at  the  beginning  of  her  year's  record'  the  amount  of  but- 
terfat she  will  be  required  to  produce  in  the  year  will  be  established 
by  adding  .1  (one-tenth)  of  a  pound  for  each  such  day  to  the  250.5 
pounds  required  when  two  years  old.  This  ratio  is  applicable  until 
the  animal  is  five  years  old,  when  the  required  amount  will  have 
reached  360  pounds,  which  will  be  the  amount  of  butterfat  required 
of  all  five  years  old  or  over. 

Seven-day  Butterfat  Record. 

"If  record  is  commenced  the  day  the  animal  is  two  years  old, 
or  previous  to  that  day,  she  must  produce  within  seven  days  from 
that  date  10  pounds  butterfat.  For  each  day  the  animal  is  over  two 
years  old'  at  the  beginning  of  her  seven-day  record,  the  amount  of 
butterfat  she  will  be  required  to  produce  in  the  seven  days  will  be

established  by  adding  .00456  (456  hundred  thousandths)  of  a  pound  for 
each  such  day  to  the  10  pounds  required  when  two  years  old.  This 
ratio  is  applicable  until  the  animal  is  five  years  old,  when  the  required 
amount  will  have  reached  15  pounds,  which  will  be  the  amount  of 
butterfat  required  of  all  cows  five  years  old  or  over. 

"The  above  yearly  standards  are  based  upon  one  complete  year's 
record  from  the  time  of  beginning,  regardless  of  the  time  lost  by 
being  dry  or  calving  during  that  period,  should  such  be  the  case. 

"The  per  cent  of  butter-fat  shall  be  determined  by  the  Babcock 
test.  For  the  purpose  of  estimating  the  amount  of  butter  from  the 
amounts  of  butterfat  produced,  we  recognize  the  rule  approved  by 
the  association  of  agricultural  colleges  and  experiment  stations, 
namely,  'add  one-sixth  to  the  amount  of  butterfat.'  It  should  be 
understood,  however,  that  in  all  records  made  for,  or  published  in, 
The  Advanced'  Register,  the  amount  of  butterfat  produced  only  will 
be  given. 

"The  records  may  commence  at  any  time  upon  giving  10  days' 
notice  to  the  secretary  of  the  club,  in  order  that  arrangements  for 
an  inspector  may  be  made.  No  seven-day  records  shall  be  commenced 
until  14  days  have  passed'  since  the  animal  calved. 

Fees. 

"No  entry  fee  will  be  required  in  this  work  in  view  of  the  great 
benefits  arising  to  the  'breed  by  having  properly  authenticated  milk 
and  butter  records,  made,  gathered,  and  published  under  this  system. 

Reporting  Records. 

"Blanks  for  reporting  the  results  of  all  tests  or  inspections  will 


164 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


be  furnished  by  the  secretary  of  the  club,  and  must  be  carefully  filled 
out. 

"The  complete  results  of  all  seven-day  r'ecords  and  also  of  each 
day's  inspection  during  a  year's  test  will  be  reported  by  the  in- 
spectors. 

"The  owners  of  the  cows  in  the  yearly  records  will  be  required 
to  report  the  weight  of  each  and  every  milking  and  such  approximate 
statements  as  to  food  and  care  as  they  can  give. 

Supervision  and  Inspection. 

"This  register  shall  be  under  the  general  supervision  and  direc- 
tion of  the  executive  committee,  who  shall  have  power  upon  a  ma-

"The  secretary  of  the  club  is  authorized  under  direction  of  the 
executive  committee  to  prepare  and  publish  blank  forms  and  circu- 
lars needed  in  carrying  this  system  into  effect;  receive  and  attend  to 
all  applications  for  this  register;  cause  to  be  made  all  examinations 
of  cattle  for  it;  issue  all  certificates  of  registry  for  it;  edit  all  publi- 
cations of  this  registry  in  the  Herd  Register  of  The  American  Guern- 
sey Cattle  Club;  and  perform  such  other  duties  as  may  be  required 
of  him  by  the  executive  committee,  to  secure  the  success  and  suf- 
ficiency of  this  system.

bandry of  such  an  institution,  shall  be  employed  to  inspect  and  sup- 
ervise the  tests  and  the  descriptions  of  the  animals  for  which  entry 
is  applied  for. 

"The  secretary  may  appoint,  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the 
executive  committee,  special  inspectors  in  special  cases  to  examine 
cattle  offered*  for  entry. 

"No  one  shall  examine  cattle  for  this  register  over  which  he  has 
charge  or  in  which  he  has  a  pecuniary  interest. 

"In  all  seven-day  tests  the  inspector  shall  see  the  cow  milked  dry 
at  its  commencement,  and  shall  be  present  thereafter  at  each  milking 
until  the  record  is  completed;  he  shall  determine  the  weight  of  each 
milking,  and  its  average  per  cent  of  fat  separately,  and  make  a  de- 
tailed* report  of  same,  with  a  statement  of  the  approximate  amount 
and  kind  of  food  given  the  animals,  and  as  to  the  manner  of  stabling 
and  care  of  same,  including  the  date  of  calving,  the  dates  of  service 
or  when  in  heat  and*  not  served.  Such  detailed  report  shall  be  made 
over  his  signature  and  affidavit  and  forwarded  to  the  secretary  im- 
mediately upon  the  completion  of  the  record*. 

"In  all  yearly  records  the  inspectors  shall  make  a  report  similar 
to  the  one  for  the  seven-day  tests  of  each  month's  inspection  of 
each  and  every  cow  inspected  with  the  exception  that  the  inspec- 
tion shall  be  but  one  day's  duration,  and  the  butterfat  determined 
from  a  composite  sample  representing  all  the  milkings  of  the  day. 

"All  expenses,  including  time  and  traveling  expenses,  for  investi- 
gation of  the  records,  scaling  the  animals,  or  overseeing  the  seven- 
day  tests,  shall  be  paid  by  the  owners  of  the  cows  so  inspected.  All 
similar  expenses  in  connection  with  the  yearly  records  shall  be  paid 
by  the  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club.  The  pay  of  the  inspectors 
in  all  instances  shall  be  a  matter  of  agreement  between  the  authori- 
ties of  the  experiment  stations,  which  they  represent,  and  the  .owners 
of  the  cows  in  the  seven-day  class,  or  the  secretary  of  the  club  in 
the  year's  class."

Spotswood   Daisy   Pearl   17696 — A.    R.    790 — yearly   record,    18,602.8   pounds   milk, 
957.38  pounds   fat. 

As  the  records  of  the  last  year's  competition  were  made 
under  practically  the  same  rules  as  those  adopted,  such  of 
those  cows  as  had  passed  the  advanced  registry  requirements 
were  admitted  and  appear  as  cows  Nos.  1  to  10.  The  advanced 
registry  records  now  completed  are  a  great  credit  to  the  breed, 
and  the  popularity  which  the  breed  has  achieved  because  of 
these  tests  redounds  to  the  credit  of  The  American  Guernsey 
Cattle  Club  who  thus  originated  the  Advanced  Register  sys- 
tem based  on  yearly  butter-fat  records. 

Experience  proves  that  a  serious  omission  was  made  in 
drawing  up  the  rules,  in  not  requiring  that  a  cow  must  drop 
a  calf  within  15  months  of  the  time  she  started  her  record, 
if  she  started  as  a  fresh  cow. 

Since  the  Advanced  Register  has  developed  so  rapidly 
and  the  high  records  of  the  leaders  of  each  class  are  con- 
stantly being  exceeded,  and  since  the  American  Guernsey 
Cattle  Club  publishes  at  frequent  intervals  not  -only  Hie  new 
records  made  from  time  to  time  but  also  complete  lists  of  all 
of  those  made  up  to  date,  it  is  unnecessary  to  include  the  list

in  this  book,  though,  of  course,  all  would  agree  that  the  pub- 
lication of  such  records  is  the  most  important  factor  in  the 
development  of  the  breed  today.  To  show  the  development 
of  the  work,  however,  the  following  list  is  given  of  the  cows 
that  once  were  leaders  in  the  several  classes :

It  has  been  interesting  to  watch  the  development  of  this 
work  and  to  see  how  quick  the  breeders  are  to  follow  up  the 
blood  lines  of  the  animals  that  have  made  or  are  making 
phenomenal  records. 

Not  only  have  the  cows  made  wonderful  records,  but 
their  ability  to  do  it  year  after  year  is  even  more  remarkable. 
Probably  the  most  notable  example  is  that  of  Dolly  Dimple 
19144,  that  made  703.37  pounds  fat  as  a  two-year-old,  906.89 
pounds  at  3^2  years  of  age,  and  876.34  pounds  at  five  years  of 
'age.  Her  dam,  Dolly  Bloom  12770,  made  453.86  pounds  as  a 
two-year-old,  623.94  pounds  as  a  three-year-old,  and  836.21 
pounds  at  five  years  of  age. 

Dairymaid  of  Pinehurst  24656  made  405.51  pounds  as  a 
two-year-old,  860.26  pounds  as  a  three-year-old,  and  910.67 
pounds  at  4^  years  of  age. 

Other  cows  that  twice  or  more  times  have  stood  at  the 
head  of  successive  classes  are  Imp.  Itchen  Daisy  3d  15630, 
Yeksarose  16610,  and  Azucena's  Pride  2d  24956. 

Practically  the  whole  dairy  public  now  concedes  that 
semi-official  yearly  butter-fat  tests  conducted  on  the  lines  of 
our  advanced  registry  are  the  only  system  needed  for  pro- 
moting and  recording  the  work  of  any  dairy  breed.  Still  the 
Guernsey  breeders  have  not  been  backward  in  entering  their 
cows  in  public  competition  from  time  to  time. 

The  rules  for  the  advanced  registry  have  been  changed 
from  time  to  time,  and  a  copy  of  the  latest  rules  for  this  work 
can  always  be  obtained  by  writing  the  American  Guernsey 
Cattle  Club,  Peterboro,  N.  H.  The  principal  changes  in  the 
rules  since  their  adoption  are  that  today  the  owners  are  re- 
quired to  pay  the  expense  of  the  monthly  inspection,  animals 
are  now  admitted  on  a  yearly  record  only,  all  animals  are  ad- 
mitted without  scoring,  and  the  requirement  for  milk  pro- 
duction has  been  eliminated  so  that  animals  are  now  admitted 
on  a  butter-fat  basis  only. 


CHAPTER  VI. 

Island  Records 

The  breeders  of  Guernsey  have  always  had  such  a  good 
demand  for  their  animals  that  they  have  been  slow  to  test 
their  cows,  and  comparatively  few  records  have  been  made 


Select   1261,   F.   S. — Record,   22   pounds  8   ounces  in   seven  days. 

on  the  island.     Their  records  show  that  at  least  the  follow- 
ing list  of  cows  have  been  tested  there  for  seven  days :

Another  cow  that  made  a  very  notable  milk  record  on  the 
Island  was  Pretty  Dairymaid  2d  1469,  F.  S.  In  an  official 
test  for  three  days  she  gave  61  pounds  2  ounces,  62  pounds 
12  ounces,  and  52  pounds  9  ounces — total,  176  pounds  7  ounces 
— in  three  consecutive  days,  and  the  reason  for  her  being  so 
low  on  the  third  day  was  that  she  was  out  the  whole  day  in 
a  severe  storm. 

In  1911  Mr.  Marsh  offered  the  Royal  Guernsey  Agricul- 
tural Society  $500  for  prizes  for  semi-official  yearly  butter

172

tests,  the  test  to  be  conducted  on  much  the  same  basis  as  our 
Advanced  Register  records  are  made.  They  refused  his  gift 
of  $500,  but  adopted  rules  almost  exactly  along  the  lines  sug- 
gested by  Mr.  Marsh.  The  rules  follow : 

In  order'  to  encourage  the  breeding  and  rearing  of  cattle  of 
great  merit  in  production  of  high  quality  dairy  products  the  Royal 
Guernsey  Agricultural  and  Horticultural  Society  adopt  the  following 
rules  for  the  establishment  of  a  system  of  registry  to  be  known  as 


Flukes  378,  F.  S. — 396  pounds  13  ounces  milk  in  seven  days. 

"The    Advanced    Register    of   the    Royal    Guernsey    Agricultural    and 
Horticultural  Society's  Herd'  Book." 

(1)  This    register    shall    be   under   the    general    supervision    and 
direction  of  the  managing  committee,  who  shall  have  power  to  alter 
and   amend'  the    conditions    established,    and    their   decision    shall    be 
final.     The  managing  committee  shall  have  power  to  appoint  a  sub- 
committee to  carry  on  the  work. 

Eligibility  of  Animals. 

(2)  Any  animal  owned  by  a  resident  of  the  Island  of  Guernsey 
or  its  Bailiwick,  and  entered  in  the  Herd  Book  of  the  Royal  Guern- 
sey Agricultural  and   Horticultural   Society  may  be   entered   for  ad- 
mission in  the  Advanced  Register  under  any  of  the  following  condi- 
tions: 

(a)  Bulls  having  two   daughters   in   this  Advanced'  Register  or 
that  of  any  recognized  "Guernsey"  testing  association  with  equivalent 
requirements. 

(b)  Cows  of  five  years  old  and  upwards  that  have  provided  360

An  allowance  of  2  per  cent  will  be  made  to  cows  due  to  calve 
within  13  months  of  date  of  last  calving,  and  of  4  per  cent  if  within 
12  months  of  date  of  last  calving.  The  words  "due  to  calve"  shall 
be  understood  to  mean  287  days  from  date  of  last  service. 

(c)  In  order  that  these  tests  may  be  carried'  on  under  normal 
farming  conditions  all  cows  entered  are  expected  to  be  led  and  safely 
in  calf  within  five  months  of  the  date  of  last  calving.  A  cow  failing 
to  comply  with  this  rule,  may,  subject  to  the  consent  of  the  sub- 
committee, be  entered  in  the  Advanced  Register  under  the  following 
penalty,  viz.,  a  deduction  from  her  record  as  under: — 

If  calving  within  14  months  of  last  calvjng,     4  per  cent. 

If  calving  within  15  months  of  last  calving,     6  per  cent. 

If  calving  within  16  months  of  last  calving,     8  per  cent 

If  calving  within  17  months  of  last  calving,  10  per  cent. 

If  calving  within  18  months  of  last  calving,  12  per  cent. 


174  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

If  calving  within  19  months  of  last  calving,  14  per  cent. 
If  calving  within  20  months  of  last  calving,  16  per  cent. 
If  calving  within  21  months  of  last  calving,  18  per  cent. 
If  calving  within  22  months  of  last  calving,  20  per  cent. 
If  calving  after  this  period  she  will  not  be  accepted  for  entry. 
Exceptional  cases,  such  as  abortion,  will  be  dealt  with  on  their 
merits  by  the  managing  committee. 

The  owner  will  be  at  liberty  to  feed  his  cow  or  cows  at  his  own 
discretion. 

Fees  and  Expenses. 

^  (3)  The  entrance  fee  for  testing  shall  be  10'|-  for  each  cow. 
This  fee  will  cover  the  entire  cost  for  the  year,  except  that  it  may 
be  necessary  to  provide  meals  for  the  supervisor  on  the  day  of  the 
official  monthly  test. 

When  an  animal  has  qualified  for  entry  under  the  requirements 
of  Rule  2,  the  secretary,  in  accordance  with  Rule  14,  will  be  em- 
powered to  enter  such  animal  in  the  Advanced  Register,  and  issue 
a  certificate  on  payment  of  a  fee  of  5|-  for  each  cow,  and'  10|-  for 
each  bull,  to  defray  cost  of  registration. 

Commencement  of  Records. 

(4)  Regular  entry  forms  will  be  furnished  free  by  the  secretary, 
and  also  printed  blanks  for  keeping  the  record's. 

The  entry  form,  properly  filled  out,  must  be  handed  to  the 
secretary,  accompanied  by  the  fee,  within  seven  days  of  the  com- 
mencement of  taking  record. 

(5)  The    test    period    need    not    be    confined'   to    one    period    of 
lactation,  but  may  extend  into  the  following  period  of  lactation,  pro- 
vided it  is  confined  to  365  consecutive  days. 

(6)  In    the    case    of   a   cow    entered    immediately    after    calving, 
record's  may  not  commence  until  the  seventh  day  after  calving,  and 
shall  close  365  days  from  the  date  of  the  first  record. 

Nature  of  Tests. 

(7)  The    test,   which    is    to    determine    the   amount   of   butterfat 
given   in   one   year    (365   days)    by  any   cow,   shall   consist   of  a   daily 
record  of  milk  production  to  be  kept  by  the  owner  of  animals  en- 
tered, added  to  a  test  made  for  one  full  day  each  month  by  an  offi- 
cial ^  supervisor,    or    supervisors,    appointed    bv    the    Royal    Guernsey 
Agricultural  and  Horticultural  Society,  who  will  see  each  cow  milked 
and   weigh   such  milk  immediately,   taking  samples  of  each   milking, 
and  testing  same  for  butterfat  by  the  Babcock  or  Gerbher  tester,  such 
butterfat  tests  to  be  taken  as  the  average  for  the  month. 

(8)  The  cows  under  test  shall  be  milked  the  same  number  ol 
times  on  the  day  of  the  visit  of  the  official  supervisor  as  they  have 
been  on  the  preceding  days  of  the  month,  and  the  number  of  milk- 
ings  per  day  shall  in  no  case  exceed  three. 

(9)  The   average   per   cent  butterfat,    calculated   from   the   yield 
and  the  tests  of  milk  as  reported  by  the  supervisor,   will  be  taken 
as  representing  the  average  fat  contents  of  the  milk  of  the  cow  during 
that  calendar  month.  . 

The  total  of  the  monthly  milk  yields  and  the  total  of  the 
monthly  credits  for  butterfat  shall  constitute  the  year's  record  for 
milk  and  butterfat  respectively. 

(10)  In  the  event  of  either  the  supervisor  or  owner  being  dis- 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  175 

satisfied  with  the  record  of  the  day  on  which  the  test  was  made, 
then  a  second'  test  may  be  made  by  the  supervisor,  such  second  test 
to  be  noted  on  the  record  sheet. 

(11)  No  owner  shall  be  entitled  to  have  more  than  eight  cows 
under  test  at  the  same  time  without  first  having  obtained  a  special 
permit  from  the  secretary. 

(12)  It  shall  be  permitted  for  any  representative  of  any  recog- 
nized Guernsey  Testing  Association  to  look  over  the  tests  made  by 
the  official  supervisors. 

Re-entry. 

(13)  An   animal   after   having   been    admitted   to    the    Advanced 
Register  may  be  re-tested  for  the  purpose  of  giving  a  better  record, 
and,  if  successful,  admitted  and'  the  record  published  as  "Entry  of  Ad- 
ditional  Record',"  using  the  original  number  assigned  to  the  animal 
and  giving  reference  to  previous  record.     The  fees  payable  being  as 
per  Rule  3. 

Issue  of  Certificate. 

(14)  All  completed  records  shall  be  submitted  by  the  secretary 
to  the  sub-committee,  and  no  certificates   shall  be  written  until  the 
records,  thus  submitted,  have  been  approved  by  this  committee.     The 
sub-committee    shall   have   the   right   to    refuse   or   delay   for   further 
investigation  any  record  which  in  their  judgment  it  is  wise  so  to  do. 

(15)  AH  entries  in  the  Advanced  Register  will  be  published  in 
the  next  issue  of  the  society's  herd  book. 

(16)  Any  incorrect  entry  may  be  expunged  from  the  manuscript 
volume  of  the  register,  and  the  certificate  of  such  entry  revoked  by 
the  managing  committee  upon  evidence  of  its  incorrectness. 

Sub-Committee  Powers. 

(17)  The    sub-committee,    appointed   by   the   managing   commit- 
tee for  the  purpose  of  the  Advanced  Register,  shall  have  the  power 
to   arbitrate   all  points   of   difference   that   may  arise,   subject   to   the 
right  of  appeal  to  the  managing  committee. 

They  shall  also  have  power  to  reject  or  discontinue  any  cow 
from  the  test  for  any  reason  they  may  consider  good  and  sufficient, 
and  may,  when  considered  desirable,  delegate  one  of  their  number 
to  accompany  the  official  supervisor. 

SPECIAL  INSTRUCTIONS  TO  SUPERVISORS. 
Identification  of  Cow. 

"The  supervisor  shall  at  each  visit  satisfy  himself  that  the  cow 
to  be  tested  answers  the  description  as  to  color  markings  given  when 
entered.      In   case    the   animal   does   not   agree   with   the    description 
furnished  the  supervisor  shall  report  same  to  the  secretary. 
Conduct  of  the  Tests. 

1.  The   supervisor  shall  be  present  at  the  last  regular  milking 
preceding  the   beginning  of  the   test,   and'  shall   satisfy  himself  that 
the  cow  is  milked  dry  at  that  time.     He  shall  note  the  hour  at  which 
this  milking  is  made,  and  the  final  milking  on  the  day  of  test  must 
be  mad'e  at  the  corresponding  hour. 

2.  He  must  be  present  throughout  each  and  every  milking  dur- 
ing the  test,   and  satisfy  himself  that  at  the   close  of  each  milking 
the  pail  contains  nothing  but  the  milk  drawn  from  the  cow  in  the 
test. 


176 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


3.  Under   no   circumstances    shall   more    than   two   cows   under- 
going  test   be   milked   at   the    same    time.     The    supervisor    must    in 
every  case  be  in  position  to  observe  the  milker  or  milkers  throughout 
the  whole  milking. 

4.  Immediately  after  the  milk  is  drawn  he  shall  take  charge  of 
the   pail   and   contents,   weigh   the    same   on    scales,   the   accuracy   of 
which  he  has  tested',  and  enter  the  exact  weight  of  milk,  at  once,  on 
his  record.     He  shall  also  test  the  scales  of  the  owner  to  see  if  they 
correspond  with  his  own. 

5.  As    soon   as   the   milk   has   been   weighed    and   is   thoroughly 
mixed  by  pouring  it  from  one  pail  to  another,  or  by  means  of  a  dip- 
per, a  sample  is  immediately  taken.     The  supervisor  takes  charge  of 
and   is  personally  responsible   for  this   sample.     The   owner  has   the 
right  to  demand'  from  the  supervisor  duplicate  samples   for  testing. 

The  test  is  proceeded  with  as  soon  as  convenient  after  the  milk 
has  cooled  to  ordinary  room  temperature. 

6.  Duplicate  fat  determinations  are  always  made  by  the  Babcock 
or    Gerbher    test,    and    both    determinations    recorded.      Readings    of 
the  result  are  made  about  130  F.;  the  test  bottles  are  preferably  placed 
in  a  small  tin  pail  containing  water  of  this  temperature  for  five  min- 
utes  before   the   readings   are   taken.      If   duplicates   vary  more   than 
two-tenths   of   1    per   cent,   the   test   must   be   repeated.     The   sample 
taken  from  any  one  milking  is  not  thrown  away  until  a  satisfactory 
result  is   obtained.     The   supervisor   shall   enter  at   once   the   results 
obtained  on  his  record'  book. 

7.  The  supervisor  shall  be  required  to  pay  special  attention  to 
the   filling   out   of  the   test  report   blanks,   especially   as   to   dates   of 
calving,  service,  in  heat,  or  not  served,  etc.     Any  sickness  or  other 
conditions  shall  be  made  a  note  of. 

8.  The  supervisor  is  not  at  liberty  to  decide  as  to  which  stipula- 
tions  contained  herein  are   essential,   and   which   are   not,  but  is  re- 
quired  to   observe   these    directions   in   all    details.      He    shall   report 
promptly  any  irregularity  or  unusual  occurrence  in  connection  with 
the  test  which  he  may  observe,  and  shall  in  general,  take  all  means 
to   conduct  a  fair  and   equitable   test  of  the   cows  placed  under  his 
supervision. 

The  first  records  were  finished  and  announced  in  Jan- 
uary, 1913,  and  a  complete  list  of  the  records  to  date  follow:

Not  having  an  experiment  station  on  the  Island  to  super- 
vise the  records,  a  man  is  regularly  employed  by  the  society, 
and  there  are  now  so  many  cows  under  test  that  it  takes 
practically  all  of  his  time.  Already  these  yearly  records  are 
having  a  marked  effect  on  the  breeding  operations  of  the  is- 
land, and  it  is  almost  certain  that  in  a  short  time  most  of  the 
bulls  used  on  the  Island  will  be  from  the  cows  that  have  made 
advanced  register  records. 

Prices  for  the  best  of  the  tested  animals  are  going  up  by 
leaps  and  bounds  as  the  American  breeders  come  to  know 
more  about  their  records.  The  islanders,  trained  by  their 
show  yard  ideals,  will  maintain  the  individual  excellence  of  the 
Island  cattle,  but  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  they  will  not  let  either 
one  make  them  forget  to  maintain  the  peculiar  trait  of  the 
breed,  that  of  giving  highly  colored  and  highly  flavored  milk, 
cream  and  butter. 


CHAPTER  VII. 

Guernseys  in  Public  Tests 

While  the  value  of  public  tests  has  been  greatly  over- 
estimated, still  this  book  would  hardly  be  complete  without  a 
review  of  the  results  achieved  by  them.  The  earliest  record 
that  I  find  of  a  Guernsey  cow  being  entered  in  a  public  test 


Imp.   Coraline   1790 — 18.74  ounces   fat  in   one  day — 18  pounds   butter  in   seven   days 

on  grass  alone. 

is  that  of  the  cow,  Coraline  1790,  at  the  Wisconsin  State  Fair 
in  1886.  The  results  of  this  test  on  a  butterfat  basis  were  as 
follows : 

Butterfat  Butterfat  Av'ge  for 

Sept.  22  Sept.  23  24  hours 

Cow  Breed  ounces  ounces  ounces 

Gabriel    Champion     Jersey  23.21  24.28  23.80 

Fyke      Holstein-Friesian          13.29  11.93  12.61 

Sister    Rex     Jersey  22.52  22.81  22.67 

Coraline    1790     Guernsey  18.50  18.98  18.74 

Rosa     Grade  29.97  26.20  28.09 

According  to  the  scale  of  points  adopted,  these  cows  were 
credited  as  follows:

Coraline     11.80  56.22  68.02 

Rosa     9.20  84.26  93.46 

Coraline  was  fed  an  average  of  12  pounds  of  grain  a  day 
and  the  others  were  fed  from  13.09  pounds  for  Fyke  up  to 
18.11  pounds  for  Rosa. 

At  the  New  York  State  Fair  in  1890,  there  were  entered 
in  a  butter  test  four  herds  of  four  cows  each.  Two  were  Hoi- 
stein  herds,  one  was  a  Jersey,  and  one  a  Guernsey.  The  rules 
required  the  cost  of  food  consumed  to  be  taken  into  considera- 
tion, and  the  prize  of  $100  was  awarded  for  the  greatest  total 
production  of  butterfat.  Quite  a  complete  report  of  this  test 
will  doubtless  prove  of  interest.  The  following  is  a  copy  of 
the  official  report  made  by  the  society.

It  will  be  seen  that  Mr.  Morton's  Guernseys  had  been  in 
milk  an  average  of  83  days  each ;  the  best  herd  of  Holsteins, 
72  days  each.  Those  were  the  days  of  the  large  weekly  but- 
ter records,  and  it  is  of  interest  to  note  that  the  two  cows, 
Tirania  and  Mechthilde,  of  Messrs.  Robinson's  herd  were 
credited  with  private  records  of  39  pounds  10.5  ounces  and  36 
pounds  11  ounces,  respectively,  in  seven  days,  while  none  of 
the  Guernsey  cows  have  published  records.  It  was  revela- 
tions such  as  these  that  deterred  Guernsey  breeders  from  mak- 
ing private  butter  tests  against  such  questionable  competi- 
tion. Writers  of  those  days  often  said  there  was  no  evidence 
of  the  Guernseys  being  good  producers,  simply  because 
Guernsey  breeders  did  not  take  kindly  to  the  weekly  butter

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


.test.     When  records  began  to  be  made  on  a  fat  basis,  they 
found  reasons  to  change  their  minds. 

In  May,  1887,  a  New  York  dairy  show  was  held  at  Mad- 
ison Square  Gardens,  at  which  a  public  one-day  test  was 
carried  on,  and  the  following  table  gives  the  results:

there  was  a  disposition  on  the  part  of  the  buttermakers  to 
leave  considerable  water  in  the  butter,  and  Dr.  S.  M.  Babcock, 
writing  under  date  of  May  21,  1887,  commenting  on  this  said: 
"I  think  the  only  fair  way  to  judge  such  tests  is  by  the  amount 
of  fat  which  the  butter  contains." 

In  1888  the  New  Jersey  Experiment  Station  asked  the 
different  associations  registering  purebred  dairy  cattle  to  se- 
lect and  furnish  the  station  with  three  purebred  cows  each. 
Five  associations  did  this.  In  Bulletin  47,  December  11,  1890, 
the  following  tables  were  published :

It  was  very  unfortunate  that  the  New  Jersey  station  lost 
this  herd  of  cattle  by  fire  so  that  the  experiment  could  not 
be  continued. 

At  about  the  same  time,  the  station  located  at  Geneva, 
N.  Y.,  undertook  similar  work,  except  that  they  started  with 
heifers  instead  of  with  cows,  and  they,  too,  were  unfortunate 
in  that  disease  nearly  ruined  many  of  the  cows.  Probably 
because  of  this  discouragement  and  also  because  there  was  so 
little  value  in  a  test  of  breeds  where  so  few  individuals  were 
concerned,  they  discontinued  the  work. 

The  following-  table  and  the  table  on  page  186  are  taken 
from  the  report  of  that  station  for  1894:

test,  and  that  none  of  the  Guernseys  continued  after  the  sec- 
ond year. 

The  table  on  page  187  gives  a  complete  summary  of  the 
work  as  far  as  they  carried  it. 

While  the  number  of  individuals  involved  in  this  experi- 
ment is  small,  the  results  bear  out  other  similar  tests  in  prov- 
ing that  in  economy  of  butterfat  production  the  Guernsey  has 
no  superior. 

In  1900  Prof.  F.  W.  Woll,  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin, 
published  in  tlje  Breeders'  Gazette  a  compilation  of  the  aver- 
age annual  production  of  186  cows  of  different  breeds,  all  of 
which  had  been  at  different  American  experiment  stations, 
and  the  results  are  as  follows :

It  will  be  noted  by  this  table  that  not  only  did  Guernseys 
lead  in  the  average  production  of  butterfat,  but  also  that  they 
produced  this  at  a  lower  food  cost  than  the  cows  of  any  other 
breed,  with  the  exception  of  the  single  Polled  Angus  cow, 
with  a  production  much  lower  than  that  of  the  Guernseys. 

The  cost  of  food  required  for  the  production  of  milk  and 
fat  was  as  follows :

In  1893  there  was  carried  on  at  the  World's  Fair  at  Chi- 
cago a  very  exhaustive  breed  test,  in  which  25  cows  of  the 
Jersey,  the  Guernsey,  and  the  Shorthorn  breeds  were  entered. 
The  test  was  divided  into  three  periods,  the  first  being  from 
May  16th  to  May  26th,  in  which  a  test  for  the  production  of 
cheese  was  carried  on ;  the  second  of  90  days  from  June  1st  to 
August  29th,  for  the  production  of  butter ;  and  the  third  of  30 
days'  duration.  At  each  change  of  period  breeders  were  al-

lowed  to  substitute  any  animals  that  they  wished.  In  the 
cheese  contest  the  cheese  was  valued  as  follows:  That  scor-

85,  at  lOc.  The  cost  of  food  for  producing-  one  pound  of  cheese 
was,  for  Guernseys,  $6.74;  for  Jerseys,  $6.76,  and  for  Short- 
horns, $9.22.  The  figures  of  total  production  and  cost  were

I  have  purposely  omitted  the  matter  of  profit  because 
the  butter  was  variously  credited  at  from  40c  to  50c  per  pound 
when  it  was  not  worth  an  average  of  25c  in  the  market  that 
year.  This  made  it  possible  to  figure  much  larger  profits  for 
the  cows  than  the  conditions  warranted.  In  the  case  of  the 
cheese  test,  the  cheese  was  actually  worth  not  over  8c  per 
pound,  and  with  l%c  as  the  usual  price  allowed  for  the  mak- 
ing, the  Guernsey  and  Jersey  cows  would  have  just  paid  for 


192 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


their  feed,  while  the  Shorthorns  would  have  come  a  good  way 
from  it.  But  in  the  published  reports,  with  cheese  valued  at 
12^@15c,  the  cows  were  represented  as  making  individual 
profits  for  the  15  days  of  from  $1.08  to  $6.97. 

Throughout  the  year  the  Guernseys  maintained  their 
reputation  for  scoring  above  other  breeds  in  the  flavor  of  the 
butter,  while  the  Jersey  butter  always  excelled  in  solidity. 


Medara   Fern   7426 — Member   Pan-American   Model  Dairy  Herd,   Buffalo,    1901. 

When  it  is  considered  that,  up  to  the  time  of  this  test,  only 
about  6,000  Guernseys  had  been  registered  in  America,  that 
the  Guernsey  interests  were  then  in  their  infancy,  and  that 
only  by  the  generosity  of  some  men  deeply  interested  in  the 
breed  was  it  possible  for  the  Guernseys  to  enter  this  test,  the 
results  were  very  gratifying,  indeed,  and  multitudes  of  new 
friends  were  made  for  the  breed.  As  the  Guernsey  butter 
was  made  without  artificial  coloring  matter,  it  proved  a  revela- 
tion to  people  who  had  not  previously  known  of  the  breed. 
In  1901  the  officials  of  the  Pan-American  Exposition,  to 
be  held  in  Buffalo  that  year,  announced  that  they  would  con- 
duct a  model  dairy,  to  consist  of  five  cows  from  each  of  as 
many  breeds  as  could  be  obtained.  The  committee  of  the 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


193 


American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  that  was  put  in  charge  of 
the  Guernseys  would  never  have  taken  the  cows  to  Buffalo 
at  all  except  upon  the  representation  of  the  officials  that  no 
test  would  be  attempted,  but  that  only  a  model  dairy  would 
be  carried  on.  When  the  committee  reached  Buffalo,  how- 
ever, and  the  cows  were  on  the  grounds,  it  was  found  that 
plans  were  under  way  for  a  regular  breed  contest  similar  to 
the  one  conducted  at  Chicago.  The  Guernsey  people  had 
decided  after  the  Chicago  test  that  the  results  to  be  obtained

from  such  tests  were  not  commensurate  with  their  cost;  but, 
having  the  cows  at  Buffalo,  the  committee  finally  decided  to 
participate.  Much  credit  is  due  S.  I.  Murphy  for  the  work 
done  by  the  Guernseys.  The  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club 
have  given  such  wide  publicity  to  that  test,  that  the  results 
are  reviewed  here  only  in  summary. 

The  following  regulations  were  adopted  to  govern  the 
competition  of  returns  and  the  awarding  of  honors: 

Prices  of  feed  per  ton:  Oil  meal,  $25;  bran,  $15;  ground  oats, 
$19;  cottonseed'  meal,  $25;  corn  meal,  $16;  gluten  feed,  $16;  pea  meal, 
$25;  clover  hay,  $7;  ensilage,  $2;  green  food,  $1.75. 

Values  of  products  per  pound:     Butter,  25c;  total  solids,  9c.

What  the  loss  or  gain  in  live  weight  -has  to  do  with  pro- 
duction in  live  cows  has  hardly  been  determined. 

Prizes  were  awarded  .as  follows : 

A  prize  for  the  herd  showing  the  greatest  net  profit,  but- 
terfat  alone  considered,  as  determined  by  the  Babcock  test. 

A  prize  for  the  herd  showing  the  greatest  net  profit  in

of  the  product.

The  yield  of  churned  butter  was  computed  from  the  actual 
results  of  one  day's  churning  of  each  breed's  cream  from  the 
milk  of  one  day  of  each  week,  and  the  yield  for  the  week  de- 
termined from  this  churning  in  proportion  to  the  actual  milk 
yield  of  the  breed  for  the  week. 

Owing  to  lack  of  machinery,  during  the  first  three  weeks 
no  churnings  were  made.  The  amount  of  butter  credited  for 
the  period  was  determined  in  a  similar  manner  from  the  'actual 
churning  during  the  following  three  weeks.

196  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

So  far  as  the  rules  are  concerned,  the  above  covers  the 
ground  and  is  in  substance  the  official  report.  To  Guernsey 
breeders  these  results  were  most  gratifying.  It  established 
the  fact  that  the  Guernsey  has  no  superior  as  a  butter  pro- 
ducer. This  breed  test,  and  that  at  the  World's  Fair  at  Chi- 
cago have  proven  that  no  one  breed  has  all  the  best  cows, 
that  there  are  good  points  in  all  breeds,  and  that  the  Guern- 
sey has  shown  the  public  she  is  willing  to  divide  honors  with 
them  all. 

The  official  records  of  the  Pan-American  test  show  that 
the  Guernsey  cow,  Mary  Marshall,  returned  the  greatest  net 
profit  in  butter  production  of  the  entire  50  entered.  Her 
profit  was  $59.41  for  the  period.  The  Guernsey  cow,  Cassio- 
peia stood  third,  with  a  profit  of  $50.42,  and  the  Guernsey  cow, 
Procris,  fifth,  with  a  profit  of  $49.49;  thus  three  of  the  best 
five  cows  were  Guernseys.  The  records  also  show  that  the 
Guernseys  made  butter  at  the  least  cost  per  pound,  and  re- 
turned the  greatest  profit  for  every  dollar  invested  in  feed.

During  the  progress  of  the  test  there  was  exhibited  in  a 
glass  case  a  sample  of  the  butter  made  from  the  milk  of  each 
herd.  Fresh  samples  were  made  once  a  week  and  submitted 
to  an  expert,  who  scored  them.  The  average  score  shows 
that  the  Guernsey  butter  ranked  highest  on  flavor  and  color, 
thus  being  the  best-quality  butter:  The  score  used  in  judging 
the  butter  was  as  follows:  Flavor,  45;  grain,  25;  color,  15; 
salt,  10;  finish,  5.  Total,  100.  In  the  test  no  use  of  butter 
coloring  was  allowed.

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


Vega  7214 — Member  Pan-American  Model  Dairy   Herd,   Buffalo,   1901. 

From  these  averages  it  will  be  seen  that  the  qualities  that 
have  been  claimed  for  Guernsey  products  are  noticeable  here. 
The  desirable  flavor  which  has  been  so  highly  prized  wher- 
ever Guernsey  milk  and  cream  have  been  sold  we  find  in  the 
butter.  It  is  not  expected  that  the  ability  of  the  Guernsey 
to  color  her  milk  and  butter  is  so  pronounced  in  the  summer 
season  when  on  green  food  in  comparison  with  some  of  the 
other  breeds,  but  it  was  readily  seen  in  the  samples  of  butter 
exhibited  and  in  the  scoring.  The  contrast  would  undoubt- 
edly have  been  much  greater  in  the  winter  season  on  dry  feed. 

To  those  of  us  who  watched  the  scoring  of  the  butter 
for  color  the  scores  given  did  not  at  all  represent  the  differ- 
ences in  the  butter,  for  some  that  was  practically  devoid  of 
color  was  scored  as  high  as  \2l/2  or  13,  while  butter  practically 
perfect  in  color  was  scored  but  14J/2.  If  in  the  scoring  of  but- 
ter 15  points  out  of  100  is  not  too  much  to  allow  for  color, 
then  in  a  contest  of  this  kind  white  butter  should  be  scored 
much  lower  than  is  done  in  practice.  If  only  two  points  of 
difference  are  all  that  may  be  made  for  color,  then  12  points 
should  be  taken  from  the  points  allowed  for  color  and  added 
to  those  for  flavor.  If  this  were  done,  Guernsey  butter  would 
score  higher  because  of  its  recognized  superiority  in  flavor 
over  other  butters. 

It  will  also  be  noted  that  the  Guernsey  cows  maintained 


198 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


their  reputation  for  producing  butterfat  at  the  lowest  cost 
per  pound. 

In  1909  W.  W.  Marsh,  of  Waterloo,  Iowa,  offered  $1,000 
for  prizes  for  a  dairy  cow  contest  to  be  carried  on  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Iowa  Experiment  Station.  The  owners  of 
dairy  cattle  in  that  state  vied  with  each  other  in  securing-  the 
best  cows  to  be  had  to  enter  in  this  contest.  At  least  $2,500 
is  said  to  have  been  paid  for  a  cow  that  finished  a  long  way 
behind  the  winner.  Mr.  Marsh  entered  three  cows  himself. 


Dairymaid  of  Pinehurst  24656 — 14,562.4  pounds  milk,  860.26  pounds  fat  in  one   year. 

When  the  year  was  ended  his  cows  had  produced  the  three 
largest  amounts  of  butterfat  given  by  any  cow  in  the  contest. 
They  were  Dairymaid  of  Pinehurst  24656,  14,562.4  pounds  of 
milk,  860.26  pounds  of  fat;  Jedetta  of  Pinehurst  17434,  15,109.1 
pounds  of  milk,  778.8  pounds  of  fat;  and  Glencoe's  Bopeep 
18602,  18,121.7  pounds  of  milk,  622.61  pounds  of  fat. 

The  result  of  this  competition  was  to  greatly  advertise 
the  Guernseys,  and  Dairymaid  of  Pinehurst  was  in  the  years 
1910  and  1912  the  leading  attraction  at  the  National  Dairy 
Show. 

In  1909  and  1911  a  similar  contest  was  carried  on  in  Wis- 
consin. In  two  different  months  a  purebred  Guernsey  led  in 
the  production  of  butterfat,  and  in  another  month  a  Guernsey 
grade  led.  The  Guernsey  grade  cows  were  the  sensation  of 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  199 

this  contest.  .  Their  work  will  be  spoken  of  in  another  chap- 
ter. In  this  contest  many  excellent  records  were  made  with 
purebreds,  the  best  being  that  of  Yeksa  Unis  19790,  640.7 
pounds  of  fat  at  4^2  years  of  age. 

In  the  Illinois  competition,  which  closed  October  1,  1912, 
the  Guernseys  also  made  a  remarkably  good  showing.  Con- 
trafuria  29090  won  third  place  in  Class  A,  cow  any  age,  with 
a  record  of  11,743.2  pounds  of  milk,  containing  534.14  pounds 
of  fat.  She  also  won  second  prize,  Class  E,  cows  two  to  three 
years  of  age.  Her  stable  mate,  Snippy  Glenwood  29098,  fol- 
lowed her  in  this  class,  with  a  record  of  10,549  pounds  of  milk 
containing  510.59  pounds  of  fat. 

The  prize  offered  for  the  largest  number  of  grade  cows 
producing  over  300  pounds  of  butterfat  in  a  year  was  won  by 
Joseph  Nicholson,  of  West  Brooklyn,  whose  average  for  eight 
grade  Guernseys  was  7,026.6  pounds  of  milk  containing  331.15 
pounds  of  butterfat. 

These  contests  greatly  stimulated  dairy  sentiment  in  the 
beef  country.  For  the  first  time  in  some  of  these  states  the 
average  farmer  realized  what  the  production  of  a  real  dairy 
cow  might  be. 

At  many  other  fairs  and  exhibitions  the_Guernsey  has 
shown  herself  equal  to  any  rival  in  the  excellence  of  dairy 
qualities.  In  the  light  of  present  knowledge  of  the  small 
value  of  short  time  tests,  whether  made  under  favorable  home 
conditions  or  at  exhibitions,  where  changes  of  feed,  water  and 
atmosphere  make  good  results  unlikely,  these  tests  are  un- 
deserving of  further  mention  in  this  book. 


CHAPTER  VIII. 

Show-yard  Records 

While  the  breeders  of  Guernsey  cattle  have  from  the  very 
first  been  particularly  strong  advocates  of  production  records 
as  the  important  means  of  improving  their  breed,  still  they 
have  always  been  ready  to  exhibit  the  best  specimens  of  the 
breed  in  competition  with  their  fellow  Guernsey  breeders  at 
leading  fairs  and  exhibitions. 

In  the  early  days  the  Jersey  and  the  Guernsey  were 
shown  at  both  English  and  American  fairs  in  the  same  class, 
generally  under  the  name  of  Alderney  or  Channel  Islands 


Aged  Cow  Class,  Wiconsin   State  Fair,   1910. 

cattle,  but  as  early  as  1870  the  secretary  of  the  Royal  Agri- 
cultural Society  of  England  recommended  that  the  Guernseys 
be  given  a  class  by  themselves,  and  they  were  first  classed 
alone  at  the  exposition  of  that  society  in  1871. 

Good  showings  of  Guernseys  began  to  be  made  at  the 
New  York  State  and  other  leading  eastern  fairs  in  the  early 
'80s.  The  cow  Elegante  592  was  the  sweepstakes  winner 
over  all  breeds  at  the  New  York  State  Fair  in  1881,  having 
won  first  prize  on  Guernsey  in  1880  at  the  Herd  Book  Show 
and  second  at  the  show  of  the  Royal  Guernsey  Agricultural 
Society  in  the  same  year. 

The  growth  of  show-yard  interest  has  steadily  increased, 
until  now,  with  the  Guernseys  third  in  rank  in  the  number 
of  registered  animals,  they  have  for  the  last  two  or  three 
years  made  the  largest  exhibits  of  all  breeds  at  many  of  the 
leading  fairs  east  and  west  and  at  the  National  Dairy  Show. 
It  is  impossible  in  a  book  of  this  size  to  give  even  an  approx- 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  201 

imately  complete  record  of  the  show-yard  winnings  at  the 
state  fairs  alone,  but  notice  will  be  taken  of  some  animals 
that  are  worthy  of  particular  mention.  Competition,  was  not 
keen  enough  before  about  1890  to  make  the  records  of  partic- 
ular interest,  except  in  the  case  of  one  or  two  shows. 

In  1887  a  dairy  show  was  held  at  the  Madison  Square 
Garden,  New  York  City.  The  following  is  a  list  of  the  ex- 
hibitors of  Guernseys  and  the  number  of  animals  each  showed :

Guernseys  had  never  been  seen  assembled  in  the  num- 
bers and  with  the  quality  exhibited  at  this  show,  and  at  least 
one  of  the  leading  agricultural  papers  pronounced  Mr.  Shaw's 
exhibit  the  best  of  all  at  the  show.  The  prizes-were  awarded 
as  follows :

As  early  as  1891,  93  Guernseys  were  exhibited  at  the  New 
York  State  Fair.  The  leading  exhibitors  were  Hon.  Levi  P. 
Morton,  with  the  Ellerslie  herd ;  F.  B.  Buckley,  Valley  Falls, 
and  R.  A.  Borden,  Easton,  N.  Y. 

In  1892,  G.  Howard  Davison,  Millbrook,  N.  Y.,  began 
showing  a  herd  with  great  success  not  only  in  the  east  but

through  the  central  west,  and  the  next  year  he  easily  carried 
off  the  honors  at  the  World's  Fair  at  Chicago.  Portions  of 
the  Breeders'  Gazette's  report  of  that  show  may  be  of  interest : 

This  yellow-skinned'  breed  of  Channel  Islands  cattle  was  strongly 
represented  in  the  character  of  its  exhibits,  if  not  in  numbers.  It  is 
an  attractive  breed  in  the  showyard.  Ample  size,  evidently  strong 
constitutions,  handsome  fawn  color  with  white  spots,  waxy  horns, 
large  and  well-shaped  udders,  and  the  clearly-marked'  yellow  nose 
eye,  ear,  and  skin  unite  to  make  it  exceedingly  prepossessing  in  barn, 
pasture,  or  on  dress  parade.  Exhibitors  at  the  'Columbian  were  as 
follows:  Dr.  G.  Howard  'Davison,  Altamont  Farm,  Millbrook,  N 
Y. ;  A.  J.  Cassatt.  Berwyn,  Pa.;  W.  D.  Richardson,  Garden  City 
Minn.;  J.  N.  Greenshields,  Danville,  Can.;  Francis  Shaw,  Wayland 
Mass.;  and  N.  K.  Faifbank,  Chicago.  F.  W.  Tratt,  Whitewater 
Wis.,  judged  this  section.  A  word  or  two  concerning  the  prize  win- 
ners may  be  of  interest. 

It  was  a  very  excellent  half  dozen  aged  bulls  which  entered  the 
arena.  They  were  of  good  size,  unmistakable  Guernsey  form,  and 
outstanding  richness  of  golden  color.  It  was  not  a  difficult  task  to 
locate  the  close  contestants,  for  Dr.  Davison's  Imp.  Lord  Stranford 
2187,  the  most  famous  prize  winning  bull  of  the  breed,  and  Mr.  Shaw's 
Deputy,  which  is  in  service  at  the  Guernsey  test  barn,  were  clearly 
at  the  head  of  the  class  and  claiming  some  attention  as  to  the  ad- 
justment of  their  relative  claims.  Both  are  magnificent  specimens 
of  the  breed  and  of  an  order  of  excellence  rarely  met  with.  Lord 
Stranford  was  in  fine  bloom  and  in  conformation,  quality,  and  rich- 
ness he  is  a  grand  type  of  a  dairy  bull.  He  is  full  of  the  finest 
masculine  character,  excelling  in  back  quarters  and  handling  quali- 
ties. Position  at  the  head  of  the  class  seemed  of  right  to  belong  to 
him,  and  we  can  compliment  Deputy  no  more  highly  than  to  say  he 
stood  a  close  second.  He  is  admirably  fashioned,  is  full  of  quality  and 
character,  and  easily  takes  rank  among  the  high  class  bulls  of  the 
breed.  Mr.  Cassatt's  Nonsuch  2701,  a  bull  of  very  good  lines,  nicely 
made  on  back  and  quarters  and  showing  a  soft  and  pliable  hide,  had 
third  honors,  leaving  in  fourth  place  Mr.  Richardson's  Yeksa's  Prince 
1943,  a  bull  with  much  depth  of  rib,  well-turned  quarters  and  much 
Guernsey  character.  Greenshield's  Ontario  743  was  fifth  and  Cassatt's 
Flippant  2201  was  sixth. 

A  couple  of  the  top  cows  of  the  breed'  confronted  the  judge,  and 
with  so  closely  matched  a  pair  it  is  perhaps  too  much  to  expect  a 
unanimity  of  opinion  as  to  their  respective  merits.  Dr.  Davison  has 
certainly  one  of  the  grand  cows  of  the  breed  in  Purity  2315,  and  Mr. 
Fairbank  can  as  clearly  lay  claim  to  this  distinction  with  Materna 
1334,  with  whose  performances  in  the  Columbian  test  our  readers  are 
famfliar.  She  was  the  only  cow  shown  from  the  test  barn.  They 
are  much  the  same  style — large,  robust,  low-set,  business-looking, 
with  large  and  well-made  udders  and'  teats  fashioned  and  set  for  easy 
grasping.  They  differ  materially  in  one  point.  Materna  is  rather 
homely-headed  while  Purity  has  a  handsome  head  and  a  countenance 
full  of  sweet  femininity.  Materna  has  a  little  larger  veins  and'  we 
understand  was  on  that  account  put  to  the  front.  We  should  not 
so  have  placed  them.  As  to  conformation,  constitution,  and  milking 
machinery,  there  is  little  difference.  Whatever  of  beauty  and  finish

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


is  added  to  a  cow  is  distinctly  that  much  to  her  credit.  The  cows 
now  stand  side  by  side  in  the  Guernsey  test  barn,  for  Purity  has 
entered  the  30-day  test,  and  at  present  there  is  little  difference  in  their 
yield's.  Visitors  to  that  barn  can  make  their  own  choice.  We  fancy 
most  of  them  would  choose  a  herd  of  Purity's  kind.  Mr.  Cassatt  had 
third  on  Birdie  of  Berwyn  1894,  a  deep-ribbed,  big-uddered,  well- 
veined,  workaday  cow,  sweet  and  fine  enough,  and  fourth  on  Encore 
4585,  a  wedge-shaped  sort  built  all  over  on  dairy  lines,  but  a  long  time

in  lactation.  Mr.  Richardson  was  fifth  and  seventh  on  Berkshire 
Maid  2130  and  Imp.  Ophir  2520,  and  Mr.  Davison  was  sixth  with 
Gloriana  3d  2959,  a  good  stamp  of  a  cow,  but  dry.  The  list  of  awards 
follows: 

Herds — First  to  Davison  on  Lord'  Stranford  2187,  Purity  2315, 
Indiana  Girl  3d,  Bessie  of  D;uncannon  5480,  Czarina  of  Millbrook

shire Maid  2130,  Milkmaid  2d  5225,  Ophir's  Evaline  6936,  Belle  R.

Young  herds — First  to   Davison;   second  to   Cassatt. 

Four  animals  the  get  of  one  bull — First  to  Davison  on  the  progeny 
of  Hero  of  Springside  2328;  second  to  Richardson  on  the  get  of 
Yeksa's  Prince  1943;  third  to  Cassatt.

to  Cassatt  on  Clella's  Pet  5161  with  Petite  of  Chester  6203  and  Count 
Berwyn. 

Lord   Stranford  was   sweepstakes  bull  and   Materna  was   sweep- 
stakes cow. 

Joseph  L.  Hope  began  showing  the  H.  McK.  Twombly 
herd  in  1895,  and  for  several  years  was  an  easy  winner  at  all 
the  large  Eastern  fairs,  including  what  was  probably  the  fin-

est  show  ever  made  in  the  east,  the  Madison  Square  Garden 
Live  Stock  Show  of  1896.  Here  the  Guernseys  led  all  other 
breeds  two  to  one.  The  bull  Lord  Stranford,  that  had  been 
shown  with  such  success  by  Mr.  Davison  and  that  had  won 
more  prizes  than  any  other  animal  of  the  breed  that  ever 
lived,  met  defeat  at  this  show  through  his  son,  Sheet  Anchor 
2934.  Rutila's  Daughter  6670  was  grand  champion  cow.  The 
Madison  Square  Garden  Show  was  continued  for  only  two 
or  three  years,  and  the  Guernseys  were  the  leading  attraction 
at  this  show  each  year. 

Good  shows  of  Guernseys  began  to  be  made  at  the  Wis- 
consin State  Fair  as  early  as  1888,  but  only  two  or  three  herds 
were  shown  at  the  most.  Commencing  with  1896,  four  or

more  herds  have  been  shown  practically  every  year.  The 
awards  at  the  Wisconsin  State  Fair  of  1896  will  be  of  inter- 
est, since  the  four  herds  shown  were  those  best  known  in  the 
western  show  rings  at  that  time.

At  the  Trans-Mississippi  Exposition  held  at  Omaha  in 
1898,  three  herds  were  entered  but  only  two  were  exhibited, 
those  of  Geo.  C.  Hill  &  Son,  Rosendale,  Wis.,  and  James  B. 
Duke,  Somerville,  N.  J.,  the  former  winning  most  of  the  first 
prizes.  This  show  was  of  course  too  far  west  at  that  time  for 
many  attending  people  to  be  interested  in  the  dairy  cattle. 

An  especially  good  show  was  held  at  the  Wisconsin  State 
Fair  in  1901. 

A  fine  showing  was  made  at  the  Pan-American  Exposition

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


Coralette's    Son    3987 — second    prize,    Louisiana    Purchase    Exposition,    1904. 

Commencing  with  the  year  1896  to  1898  good  showings 
of  the  breed  began  to  be  made  at  all  the  leading  state  fairs, 
especially  good  ones  other  than  those  already  named  being 
the  Illinois,  Minnesota,  Ohio  and  New  Jersey  fairs. 

At  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition,  held  at  St.  Louis 
in  1904,  the  Guernsey  exhibition  was  the  best  ever  assembled 
up  to  that  time.  The  Breeders'  Gazette,  commenting  on  that 
show,  said : 

It  was  a  display  of  Guernsey  character  and  quality  calculated'  to 
make  friends  for  that  popular  dairy  breed.  The  exhibit  was  represen- 
tative in  excellence  and  numerical  standing.  It  was  the  superior  of 
anything  of  the  kind  that  has  preceded  it  in  this  country.  Uni- 
formity characterized  the  show.  All  sections  were  well  filled  with 
uniformly  high-class  showyard  contestants.  Only  a  few  sub-standard 
entries  were  seen.  Considering  the  number  of  animals  shown,  it 
must  pass  as  a  strong  compliment  that  the  percentage  of  inferior  ma- 
terial was  so  small.  It  was  evident  from  this  admirable  exhibit  that 
American  'breeders  of  Guernseys  are  striving  for  a  common  type,  a 
common  standard'  of  excellence,  a  dairy  breed  of  the  highest  effi- 
ciency, and  it  is  a  pleasure  to  record  this  impression.  The  exhibit 
revealed  in  convincing  fashion  the  improvement  in  form  effected  in 
this  refined  race  of  dairy  stock  since  the  Columbian.  It  reflected  a 
unity  of  purpose  and  aim  on  the  part  of  the  men  who  are  bringing 
this  breed  to  a  splendid  state  of  development  and  usefulness.  It  was 
illustrative  of  great  achievement  and  rich  in  promise  of  future  prog- 
ress. 

Here  some  of  the  best  known  Guernseys  from  the  East  and 
West  were  shown,  and  the  first  prize  bull,  Prince  Rosendale  4291,

Many  other  fine  exhibitions  of  Guernseys  were  made  at 
the  different  state  fairs  east  and  west  and  at  Brockton,  Fram- 
ing-ham, and  Mt.  Kisco  in  the  east,  mention  of  which  cannot 
be  included  for  lack  of  space.  But  since  the  leading  breeders 
of  the  country  usually  meet  in  competition  at  the  National 
Dairy  Show,  which  will  be  more  and  more  the  court  of  final 
judgment  for  show  awards,  there  is  included  a  report  of  the 
winnings  of  that  show,  from  the  first  show  held  in  1906  up 
to  and  including  the  one  of  1914. 

The  first  National  Dairy  Show  was  held  at  the  Chicago 
Coliseum,  February  15  to  24,  1906.  Three  herds  of  Guern- 
seys were  shown,  those  of  M.  D.  Cunningham,  J.  G.  Hickcox, 
and  Granger  Farwell.  Mr.  Cunningham  carried  off  first  in 
aged  bulls  with  Robiana's  Standard  7254,  and  first  in  aged 
cows  with  Gertrude  Kelly  13709.  The  judging  was  done  by 
Dr.  M.  B.  Wood,  of  Mankato.  Minn. 

The  second  show  was  held  October  9  to  19,  1907,  at  the 
International  Amphitheatre,  and  over  150  Guernseys  were 
shown,  the  largest  number  of  any  breed.  The  judging  was

The  exhibit  of  Guernseys  at  the  1914  Dairy  Show  was 
better  than  ever  before,  and  cattle  representing  15  herds,  from 
eight  different  states,  were  shown. 

The  outbreak  of  foot  and  mouth  disease  that  caused  the 
quarantining  of  the  cattle  in  the  show  barns  was  most  un- 
fortunate, but  admirers  of  the  breed  should  be  grateful  that 
the  cattle  there  were  practically  all  saved.  A  few  animals 
were  lost,  from  various  causes,  the  most  notable  being  Jessy 
Rose  10th.

With  shows  of  the  size  and  character  of  the  National 
Dairy  Show  it  is  difficult  to  secure  men  who  are  competent 
to  judge  and  who  will  consent  to  do  the  work,  and  some  dis- 
satisfaction is  bound  to  arise.  The  Guernsey  breeders  have 
been  very  patient,  loyal  and  united  with  the  one  purpose  of 
showing  the  Guernsey  to  the  public  in  the  most  winning  man- 
ner possible,  whenever  opportunity  has  been  presented.  The 
day  has  gone  by  when  men  will  attempt  to  judge  as  to  capac- 
ity for  dairy  production  between  cows  in  the  show  ring. 
Shows  are  looked  upon  as  splendid  opportunities  to  acquaint 
new  people  with  the  breed,  and  as  a  means  of  securing  more 
uniformity  of  type  in  the  breed. 

The  exhibit  of  Guernseys  at  the  Panama-Pacific  Exposi- 
tion at  San  Francisco  was  of  a  very  high  order  of  excellence, 
but  would  doubtless  have  been  much  better  if  quarantine  reg- 
ulations had  not  shut  out  all  cattle  from  east  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains.  The  number  of  Guernseys  entered  for  the  show 
was  greater  than  the  entries  for  any  other  breed  of  cattle. 

The  judging  was  done  by  Charles  L.  Hill,  of  Rosendale, 
Wis.,  and  the  awards  were  as  follows: 

Bull   Three  Years   Old  or  Over— 

1st     Imp.   Itchen  May   King  25174 — Edgemoor  Farm,   Santee,   Cal.

CHAPTER  IX. 

The  Color  of  Guernsey  Milk 

One  of  the  points  of  superiority  of  the  Guernsey  cow 
that  first  attracted  the  American  dairyman  to  her  was  the 
very  yellow  color  of  her  milk  and  butter.  Practically  every 
early  mention  of  her,  whether  on  the  Island  or  in  this  coun- 
try, calls  attention  to  this  trait  of  the  breed.  Many  of  these 
references  have  been  quoted  in  Chapter  II.  But  there  is  no 
reference  whatever  as  to  why  of  how  this  characteristic  be- 
came fixed.  It  must  have  been  the  result  of  generations  of 
painstaking  breeding  on  the  part  of  all  the  early  breeders  of 
the  Island,  but  nothing  is  left  to  show  who  first  conceived 
the  idea  or  how  concerted  action  with  this  thought  in  view 
was  obtained.  I  doubt  if  there  is  a  characteristic  of  any  other 
breed  of  livestock  so  pronounced  as  this,  of  which  so  little  is 
known  of  its  history  that  might  be  of  great  value  in  the  study 
of  the  subject  of  breeding.  We  must  content  ourselves  with 
the  knowledge  that  the  Guernsey  possesses  this  characteristic 
and  that  it  is  a  very  much  more  valuable  quality  than  even 
the  breeders  of  Guernseys  appreciate. 

In  the  present  day  striving  for  large  Advanced  Register 
records  and  for  individual  beauty  as  well,  color  of  product  is 
too  often  lost  sight  of;  and  if  any  word  of  advice  to  breeders 
of  today  is  worthy  of  consideration,  it  is  urging  them  to  care- 
fully conserve  and  promote  this  distinctive  characteristic  of 
the  Guernsey  cow. 

While  the  artificial  coloring  of  butter  is  lawful  in  all  of 
the  states  of  the  union  and  almost  universally  practiced,  the 
artificial  coloring  of  milk  and  cream  for  market  purposes  is 
forbidden  by  law  in  nearly  all,  if  not  all,  of  the  states. 

Whenever  a  breeder  of  Guernseys,  whether  purebred  or 
grade,  starts  a  milk  business  in  any  city  and  sells  milk  in  com- 
petition with  that  of  other  breeds,  if  he  furnishes  a  good  clean, 
article,  he  has  at  once  a  demand  greater  than  his  supply  and 
at  a  price  3  to  5c  or  even  more  [per  quart  above  that  secured 
by  his  competitors  for  milk  produced  with  the  same  care. 
Instances  without  number  can  be  given  of  towns  where  milk 
had  never  sold  above  5  or  6c  per  quart,  but  where  Guernsey 
milk  placed  on  the  market  at  lOc  per  quart  sold  more  readily 
than  the  other  at  lower  prices. 

The  large  dairy  companies  of  the  great  cities  are  now 
scouring  the  country  for  Guernsey  milk  and  more  especially 


242 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


for  Guernsey  cream  to  supply  to  their  customers  for  table 
use.  Many  of  the  great  city  hotels  now  have  for  table  use 
Guernsey  milk  and  cream  either  from  farms  of  their  own  or 
purchased  from  the  producer. 

A  corporation  owning  three  of  the  largest  hotels  in 
Boston  has  a  farm  in,  New  Hampshire  where  milk  and  cream 
and  butter  are  produced  for  their  hotels;  and  in  a  booklet 
describing  the  farm  and  its  products,  they  say  that  the  Guern- 
sey milk  and  cream  are  reserved  for  table  use  on  account  of 
their  color,  while  the  product  of  the  other  breeds  is  made 
into  butter,  since  artificial  color  may  be  used  to  bring  the 
color  up  to  the  required  standard. 

The  best  opportunity  ever  afforded  to  study  the  question 
of  the  color  of  the  milk  and  butter  of  different  breeds  was 
that  offered  by  the  "model  dairy"  at  the  Pan-American  Ex- 
position in  Buffalo  in  1901.  A  record  of  this  work  is  given 
in  this  book  in  the  chapter  on  "Guernseys  in  Public  Tests." 

C.  L.  Fitch,  now  of  Greeley,  Colo.,  carried  out  some  very 
interesting  experiments  while  superintendent  of  the  Hoard 
creameries  at  Fort  Atkinson,  Wis.,  to  determine  the  amount 
of  color  the  cow  puts  into  the  butter.  It  is  best  to  let  him 
explain  it  in  his  own  words: 

"The  cows  and  the  sunshine  and  the  feed  put  some  coloring 
matter  into  the  butter,  and  buttermakers  add'  enough  to  bring  up  the 
total  to  the  most  desirable  shade  of  butter  in  June. 

"Now,  by  a  simple  method  it  is  possible,  without  separate  churn- 
ings  of  uncolored  butter,  to  tell  what  amount  of  color  in  terms  of  the 
artificial  color  the  cows  are  supplying.  Knowing  this  amount,  the 
differences  can  easily  be  added  to  any  churning  to  produce  any  de- 
sired shade  or  various  shades  desired,  or  uniform  color  can  be  ob- 
tained from  the  differing  natural  colored  cream.  This  is  what  Major 
Alvord  called  'the  solution  of  the  butter  coloring  question.'  T^- 
natural  method  is  demonstrated  by  the  writer. 


The 


Natural  method   butter  coloring   system. 

"The  apparatus  is  a  hardwood  case,  having  seven  half  ounces  in 
tin  boxes  set  into  holes  in  the  lower  half,  with  a  hollow  cover  carry- 
ing a  label  with  directions,  and  the  amount  of  color  in  each  shade 
sample  per  100  pounds.  The  shades  run  from  pure  white  in  No.  00 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  243 

to  the  limit  of  color  depth  in  No.  6,  a  deep  orange,  containing  150  cc. 
(cubic  centimeters)  of  Wells  &  Richardson's  Improved  to  100  pounds 
of  pure  white  base.  This  gives  us  six  shades  with  a  common  differ- 
ence of  25  cc.  of  color  per  100  pounds  per  shade.  The  inside  of  the 
standard  case  should  be  enameled  white.  The  samples  show  better 
against  a  white  background.  Lead  paint  turns  yellow.  Zinc  white 
enamel  does  not.  Take  a  trier  sample  of  yesterday's  butter,  and  pick 
off  a  bit  on  a  knife  and  run  along  the  shades  and  find  its  place. 

"Suppose  it  to  be  winter  and  it  is  exactly  No.  4,  and  that  50  cc. 
of  Wells  &  Richardson's  Improved  were  used.  No.  4  contains  100 
cc.  of  color  per  100  pound's  of  white.  If  50  cc.  were  used  the  cows 
must  have  supplied  the  rest  or  50  cc.  per  hundredweight;  or  the  nat- 
ural color  would  be  found  by  actual  trial  to  be  No.  2.  So  no  shade 
lower  than  No.  2  can  be  made.  There  is  no  practical  way  to  bleach 
butter.  It  can  be  done  chemically,  by  long  washing  in  separators,  or 
by  storage,  neither  of  which  is  practical.  No  order  can  >be  filled'  for 
a  lower  color  than  the  cream  or  process  stock  contains. 

"But  to  return.  We  had  No.  2  natural  shade,  50  cc.  value.  To 
get  No.  3  we  .would  add  25  cc.  per  hundred  pounds  of  butter.  An 
addition  of  75  cc.  would  give  us  No.  5,  etc.  This  is  the  whole  plan  of 
use. 

"To  obtain  uniform  color  in  varying  factories  of  a  line  of  cream- 
eries figure  similarly,  and  this  is  the  largest  usefulness  for  this 
method.  For  several  years  I  have  seen  butter  from  seven  plants 
come  in  daily  as  like  in  color  by  this  method  as  if  one  churning. 
Where  No.  4  butter  is  the  shade  wanted,  factory  A,  where  the  nat- 
ural color  was  running  No.  2  or  50  cc.,  would  color  at  the  rate  of  50 
cc.  per  hundredweight;  and  factory  D,  where  feed  and  breed  were 
different  and  the  natural  color  was  above  No.  3,  say  85  cc.,  would  use 
but  15  cc.  per  hundredweight  to  have  its  butter  match  the  standard 
shade  for  the  line.  No  really  up-to-date  maker  will  color  per  thousand 
of  milk  or  gallons  of  cream,  or  salt  either;  the  proper  basis  is  always 
the  pounds  of  butter  estimated  to  be  in  hand.  And  cubic  centimeter 
graduates  and  calculations  are  far  better  than  ounces  and  fractions. 
One  ounce  equals  a  little  less  than  30  cc. 

"To  prepare  the  standard  shades,  put  away  in  the  absolute  dark- 
ness of  a  box  in  a  cold  storage  room  that  doesn't  freeze,  or  a  cellar, 
several  sealed  bottles  of  Wells  &  Richardson's  Improved  color. 

"These  bottles  will  provide  standards  for  years.  Next  get  a  box 
of  droppers  from  your  druggist  and  find  one  that  will  drop  exactly 
50  drops  of  the  color  at  60  degrees  F.  to  each  cubic  centimeter.  Each 
drop  of  this  size  equals  in  40  grams  of  material,  25  cc.  in  100  pounds 
of  butter.  (No.  1  will  be  one  drop;  No.  2,  two  drops,  etc.,  to  each  40 
grams.)  Use  pure  white  mutton  stock  for  the  base,  and  work  in  a 
hot  room,  and  have  the  stock  soft,  so  that  it  can  be  worked  up  with 
a  spatula  or  thin  case  knife  on  a  smooth  or  waxed  board.  In  a  line 
of  creameries,  two  sets  of  cases  can  be  provided,  or  a  set  of  cans  may 
be  used  and  the  standard  boxes  refilled  at  each  plant.  The  shades 
must  be  renewed  monthly  or  oftener,  and  should  be  kept  in  a  clean, 
dry  place  of  moderate  temperature.  Do  not  smooth  the  surface  of  the 
color  boxes;  leave  as  cut  off  with  the  edge  of  the  knife. 

"Mutton  stock  is  made  by  all  large  packers,  and  is  largely  ex- 
ported to  Holland,  where  it  is  used  in  oleo  factories.  The  packers 
will  make  up  200  pounds  at  a  time  for  about  7c  a  pound  and  freight, 


244  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

and  we  once  had  such  a  lot  made.  This  is  unnecessary,  however,  if 
one  can  get  in  touch  with  the  foreman  of  a  packer's  oleo  oil  plant. 
He  will  usually  have  part  barrels  on  hand,  and  will  be  glad  to  get 
his  office  to  sell  you  a  few  pounds.  If  unable  to  obtain  pure  white, 
use  lard  in  making  up  a  sample  or  two,  and  then  make  an  estimate 
of  the  color  of  the  stock  and  reckon  accordingly.  It  will  be  useless 
to  try  any  other  substance  for  the  standard  medium.  I  believe  I 
have  tried  'butter  and  rejected  it  as  too  soft  and  apt  to  melt  and  so 
spoil  the  shades.  I  have  tried  white  vaseline,  lard  and  lanoline  and 
rejected  them  as  too  soft  and  liable  to  incorporate  so  much  air  in 
mixing  as  to  make  the  shade  inaccurate.  I  have  used  tallows  of 
various  kinds  and  mixtures  and  beeswax,  and  rejected  them  as  too 
hard  and  too  shiny.  Paraffin,  stearine,  ozokerite  and  other  waxes  are 
too  translucent  or  too  variable  in  the  way  they  crystallize,  varying 
thus  in  white  lines  and  so  in  color.  No  printer  will  promise  inks  to 
be  permanent  enough  to  pay.  Glass  prisms  such  as  doctors  use  in 
a  beautiful  little  instrument  to  measure  the  redness  of  blood  are  not 
within  reach,  nor  made  in  orange. 

"Ten  cc.  per  hundredweight  of  butter  is  as  small  a  variation  as 
most  eyes  can  detect  (one-third  ounce  of  color),  so  it  is  no  use  to 
vary  one  way  or  the  other,  in  making  a  change,  less  than  10  cc.  per 
hundredweight. 

"Salt  influences  color  to  the  extent  of  a  whole  shade  or  more. 
Time  is  a  factor  in  this  matter  with  salted  butter.  Generally,  between 
butter  24  hours  old  and  fresh  salted  butter,  a  half  shade  will  cover 
the  difference.  It  is  well  not  to  use  butter  the  day  of  churning  for 
color  determination.  Working  against  a  dry  or  poorly  soaked  churn 
or  worker,  overworking,  or  churning  very  warm,  affects  the  color  of 
butter  greatly  by  incorporating  large  amounts  of  air,  or  sometimes 
of  buttermilk,  and  should  not  be  done,  as  it  is  in  every  way  harmful. 

"'The  natural  method  color  measurements  made  possible  some 
interesting  studies  along  this  'line,  which  may  be  added.  In  the  mid- 
dle west,  the  native  or  Durham  mixed  cows  run  up  in  June  to  about 
the  same  color  as  did  the  thoroughbred  Jerseys  at  Burchard  farm. 
Shade  three  or  three  and  one-half,  75  to  85  cc.  per  hundredweight  of 
white.  The  same  cows  in  winter  go  lower  than  do  the  Jerseys. 
Guernsey  cows'  butter  runs  as  high  naturally  as  No.  6,  and  is  often 
too  highly  colored  to  be  accepted  by  the  buyer  as  without  artificial 
color.  Guernsey  butter  color  is  of  a  different  quality  also,  it  is  old 

fold  rather  than  orange,  with  suggestions  of  lemon  and'  orange.  No 
reed  can  compete  with  them  in  rich  colored  cream  and  milk.  This 
difference  continues  throughout  the  year,  as  natural  color  gradually 
declines  during  the  fall  and  winter;  those  cows  that  gave  the  highest 
color  in  summer  keep  their  lead  all  the  year.  The  -color  gets  to  its 
lowest  point  before  another  pasture  season. 

"Sunshine,  ensilage,  light  and  alfalfa  hay  do  much  to  maintain 
color  in  milk  and  butter.  In  Colorado  sunshine  with  Colorado  feeds, 
with  Jersey  and  Guernsey  cows,  it  is  never  necessary  to  use  artificial 
butter  color  to  obtain  attractive  butter. 

"The  following  table  of  churning  experiments  by  the  author  in 
Wisconsin  in  1899  and  1900  is  of  interest  along  these  lines,  and  I  be- 
lieve the  color  values  shown  to  be  typical  of  the  breeds  as  a  whole:

"The  fall  drop  in  a  line  of  Wisconsin  creameries  does  not  go 
below  No.  2  until  the  ground  hog  days,  and  then  it  is  a  long  time 
going  down  towards  No.  1.  The  whitest  butter  is  produced'  and  most 
artificial  color  is  used  in  the  spring  just  before  sunshine  and  pastur- 
age commence,  and  then  the  gain  in  color  does  not  come  all  at  once." 

Mr.  Fitch,  in  writing  me  at  the  time  the  above  Guernsey 
sample  was  sent,  March  15th,  1900,  said: 

"The  color  has  fallen  to  2%  on  the  scale,  and  this  would  just  suit 
me,  as  it  is  for  table  use.  It  is  as  high  a  color  as  could  be  sold'  in 
Manchester,  England." 

In  judging  of  the  color  of  milk,  it  must  be  remembered 
that  the  color  value  of  Guernseys  giving  5  per  cent  milk 
would  be  increased  as  compared  with  3  per  cent  Holstein  milk 
by  the  factor  of  5/3  over  the  table  color  values  of  butter; 
whereas  for  cream  of  the  same  richness,  the  comparative  color 
values  would  be  as  stated  for  butter.  Thus  Holstein  milk 
might  often  have  less  than  one-fourth  the  color  of  Guernsey 
milk. 

James  M.  Codman,  of  Brookline,  Mass.,  who  visited  the 
Island  in  1871,  and  made  an  importation  at  that  time,  more 
than  any  other  person  has  called  attention  of  the  breeders 
to  the  value  of  this  breed  characteristic,  and  the  results  ob- 


246  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

tained  in  his  own  herd  would  indicate  that  this  characteristic 
can  be  intensified  by  breeding.  The  butter  from  his  herd  is 
yellower  than  that  from  any  herd  I  have  ever  seen,  with  pos- 
sibly one  exception. 

As  this  book  goes  to  press,  The  American  Guernsey  Cat- 
tle Club  is  carrying  on  some  experiments  in  connection  with 
some  experiment  stations  in  an  endeavor  to  determine,  if  pos- 
sible, the  connection  between  the  color  of  the  animal,  as  mani- 
fested by  the  secretions  in  the  ears,  on  the  end  of  the  tail,  on 
the  teats  and  udder,  at  nose,  and  on  body  generally,  and  the 
color  of  the  product,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  these  experi- 
ments will  bring  results  that  will  make  it  possible  to  still 
further  intensify  this  breed  characteristic. 


CHAPTER  X. 

The  Guernsey  in  England 

It  is  evident  from  the  quotation  in  Chapter  II  from 
Youatt's  "Cattle"  that  the  Guernseys  have  been  known  and 
appreciated  in  England  for  one  hundred  years  or  more;  but 
there  was  no  organization  of  the  English  breeders  to  form  a 
Herd  Book  until  1885,  when  The  English  Guernsey  Cattle 
Society  was  formed.  G.  Neville  Wyatt  was  the  first  secretary, 
and  the  first  volume  of  the  Herd  Book  was  issued  in  1885,  in 
which  were  registered  306  females  and  74  bulls. 

An  examination  of  the  entries  of  this  first  volume  shows 
that  Cowslip  60  was  the  oldest  cow  registered,  being  dropped 
in  the  year  1869.  Her  sire  and  dam  were  imported  from 
Guernsey.  She  was  bred  in  England  by  Lord  Falmouth.  But 
I  find  that  the  cow  Cissus  I  50,  bred  August  10,  1877,  goes 
back  four  generations  on  her  dam's  side,  as  her  pedigree 
indicates,  and  two  on  her  sire's  side,  so  that  this  would  indi- 
cate that  some  of  the  foundation  stock  had  been  imported 
much  earlier. 

From  the  preface  of  the  first  volume  of  the  Herd  Book, 
it  is  quite  evident  that  the  English  breeder  was  not  only  plan- 
ning to  preserve  the  purity  of  the  breed  for  his  own  satisfac- 
tion but  also  that  he  might  capture  a  portion  of  the  American 
trade.  This  is  evidenced  by  the  following  quotation : 

"It  is  clear  that  American  buyers,  for  instance,  cannot 
afford  to  incur  the  expenses  and  run  the  risks  of  carrying 
cattle  across  the  Atlantic  unless  they  are  in  a  position  to 
obtain  very  high  prices  indeed  at  the  end  of  the  voyage.  And 
it  is  equally  clear  that  those  high  prices  will  only  be  forth- 
coming for  animals  whose  purity  of  origin  is  demonstrable. 
Certainty  of  pedigree  must  come  in  support  of  the  promise 
of  intrinsic  value,  and  this  combination  once  achieved  there 
is  no  reason  whatever  why  English  Guernsey  blood  should 
not  become  as  fashionable  as  that  of  the  best  known  Island 
herds.  Indeed,  it  is  possible  that  foreign  buyers  may  event- 
ually prefer  our  cattle,  for  there  is  a  growing  opinion,  prob- 
ably well  founded,  of  their  superior  hardiness." 

Rule  five  of  their  Society  was : 

"No  animal  shall  be  eligible  for  the  English  Guernsey 
Herd  Book  that  cannot  trace  back  its  pedigree  on  both  sire's 
and  dam's  sides  to  imported  stock."  To  them  this  rule  evi- 
dently meant  animals  from  any  one  of  the  Islands,  and  while

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


I  do  not  find  any  animal  in  Volume  I  that  is  given  as  Alder- 
ney  bred,  they  very  early  accepted  animals  from  Alderney. 
Because  of  this  fact,  they  very  early  had  the  advantage  of  the 
American  buyer,  who  could  not  buy  the  Alderney-bred  cattle 
either  on  that  island  or  in  Guernsey.  The  Guernsey  has 
apparently  never  been  as  popular  in  England  as  the  Jersey, 
but  it  is  evident  from  the  number  of  animals  imported  and 
recorded  in  recent  years  that  the  interest  is  steadily  increas- 
ing, which  is  to  be  expected  because  the  hopes  expressed  in 
the  preface  have  been  realized  in  the  last  few  years.  Many 
Guernseys  have  been  brought  to  the  United  States  from  Eng- 
land, some  of  them  Island  bred  but  many  of  them  English 
bred. 


Felois   4436,   E.   G.   H.    B.— 1st  prize,   English   Royal   Show,    1909. 

The  Society  early  began  to  offer  special  prizes  at  the 
English  Royal,  Bath  and  West  of  England,  Royal  Counties, 
Tunbridge  Wells  and  other  shows  of  Great  Britain,  and  have 
published  in  their  Herd  Book  lists  of  the  prizes  won  at  these 
shows. 

While  but  little  private  testing  is  done  in  England,  the 
following  statement,  written  in  1886  by  Sir  John  F.  Lennard, 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED

Group  of  Guernseys  owned  by  John   C.    Forster,   Clatford   Mills,   England, 
prize   winners   at   Bath   and   West   of   England   Show   in    1911. 


All 


Bart.,  would  indicate  that  some  breeders  took  a  keen  interest 
in  the  dairy  production  of  their  cows,  and  persons  who  know 
Mr.  Lennard  state  that  he  always  had  an  enthusiastic  inter- 
est in  his  herd. 

"I  may  say  that  all  the  cows  and  heifers  I  have  are 
descended  from  one  cow  imported  by  Mr.  Fowler  of  Bushey, 
which  I  bought  in  1870,  Lady  No.  1,  No.  170  English  Guern- 
sey Herd  Book. 

"She  was  a  regular  breeder;  her  milk  varied  from  six- 
teen to  eighteen  quarts  a  day,  which  produced  from  2  pounds 
to  2  pounds  9  ounces  of  butter,  according  to  the  season."

It  was  the  author's  privilege  to  visit  this  farm  in  1913. 
The  present  Sir  Henry  Lennard  is  very  much  interested  in 
his  herd,  which  is  composed  largely  of  the  descendants  of 
this  same  Lady  family. 

J.  Boyd  Kinnear,  M.  P.,  for  years  maintained  a  very 
choice  herd  at  Collessie,  Scotland,  and  he  published  the  fol- 
lowing report  of  the  milk  yield  of  his  herd  for  the  years  1895, 
1896  and  1897:

The  English  breeders  have  persistently  entered  their 
cattle  in  the  milking  -trials  at  the  annual  shows,  and  up  to 
1912  this,  with  their  prize  winning,  had  been  the  only  means 
of  judging  of  the  character  of  their  animals.  In  1912  they 
adopted  the  following  set  of  rules  governing  their  tests  for 
yearly  milk  and  fat  records,  which  rules  are  much  like  those 
adopted  for  the  Advanced  Register  in  the  United  States.  The 
same  requirements  for  admission  prevail,  but  Rule  6  provides 
that  "No  record  can  be  accepted  unless  the  cow  is  safely  in 
calf  within  five  months  from  the  date  the  record  commenced." 

1.  Any  animal  the  property  of  a  member  of  the  English  Guern- 
sey Cattle  Society  entered  in  their  Herd'  Book  is  eligible  for  the  test. 

2.  The  record,  which  is  to  be  for  a  lactation  period  not  exceeding 
365  days,  shall  consist  of  a  daily  record  of  milk  production  to  be  kept 
by  the  owner  on  a  form  supplied  by  the  Secretary  of  the   Society, 
which  shall  be  checked  at  least  every  two  months  during  the  lacta- 
tion period  by  the  Official  Inspector  of  the  Society,  who  shall  at  each 
visit  take  a  sample  of  each  animal's  milk  and  test  the  same  for  butter- 
fat  by  the  Gerber  Tester. 

3.  The  cows  shall  be  milked  the  same  number  of  times  on  the 
day  of  the  test  as  they  have  been  previously,  but  the  number  of  milk- 
ings  must  not  exceed  three. 

4.  All   cows  must  have   calved   at  least  seven   days   before  the 
commencement  of  the  test  or  record.     No  allowance  can  be  made  for 
milk  taken  by  suckling  calves  after  that  period. 

5.  The  records  may  commence  at  any  time,  but  notice  must  be 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


given  to  the  Secretary  within  seven  days  after  the  record  has  com- 
menced, to  give  due  time  for  the  arrangement  of  the  Inspector's  visit. 

6.  No  record  can  be  accepted  unless  the  cow  is  safely  in  calf 
within  five  months  from  the  date  of  the  record  commenced. 

7.  Should  the   owner  or  the   Inspector  be   dissatisfied  with  the 
milk  record  or  butterfat  test  at  the  time  of  the  Inspector's  visit,  an 
extra  visit  may  be  made  at  the  owner's  expense. 

8.  The  Inspector  shall  not  be  required  to  give  more  than  one 
day's  notice  of  his  visit. 

9.  In  order  to  place  heifers  and'  young  cows  on  an  equal  basis 
with  mature  cows,  an  animal  commencing  her  record  at  two  years  old 
or   under   shall   be   required   to   produce   within   the   lactation   period 
6,000  pounds  of  milk  or  250.5  pound's  of  butterfat.     For  each  day  the 
animal   is   over   two  years  3.65   pounds   of  milk  and   one-tenth   of  a 
pound   of  butterfat  shall  be  added;   this  ratio  to   continue  until  the 
animal  is  5  years  old,  when  the  required  amount  will  have  reached 
10,000  pounds  of  milk  or  360  pounds  of  'butterfat. 

10.  All  cows  must  be  in    view    of    the    Inspector    when    being 
milked,  and  not  more  than  ten  cows  shall  be  tested  from  one  herd  in 
one  day. 

11.  The  owner  will  be  required  to  pay  half  the  expenses  of  each 
visit,  the  moiety  due  to  the  Society  will  be  collected  by  the  Secre- 
tary after  the  third  visit  of  the  Inspector. 

12.  Should  any  questions  or  dispute  arise   not  provided  for  in 
the  foregoing  rules,  the  decision  of  the  Sub-Committee  shall  be  final. 

It  is  seen  that  the  owner  keeps  daily  milk  records  as  with 
the  American  test,  but  according  to  Rule  2  an  inspector  must 
visit  the  farm  at  least  every  two  months,  while  monthly  visits 
are  required  in  the  case  of  American  records.  The  results  of 
these  tests  to  date  follow:

CHAPTER  XI. 

The  Guernsey  in  Other  Countries 

The  exportation  of  Guernsey  cattle  to  countries  other 
than  the  United  States  and  Great  Britain  has  been  very  lim- 
ited, with  the  single  exception  of  Australia.  A  few  animals 
have  gone  to  France,  Cuba,  Central  America,  Brazil  and  scat- 
tering animals  to  other  countries. 

In  1888,  the  Sapporo  Agricultural  College,  Sapporo, 
Japan,  imported  from  the  United  States  two  bulls  and  twenty 
heifers,  selected  in  twos  or  threes  from  each  of  a  number  of 
prominent  herds  in  this  country.  This  was  before  the  dis- 
covery of  the  tuberculin  test,  and  unfortunately  some  of  these 
animals  had  tuberculosis,  which  eventually  destroyed  the 
whole  herd  and  put  an  end  to  Guernsey  business  in  Japan. 

The  Guernsey  has,  however,  made  great  strides  in  Aus- 
tralia, as  the  following  quotation  from  the  book,  "Dairying 
in  Australasia,"  by  M.  A.  O'Callaghan,  testifies : 

From  the  day  on  which  the  first  importation  of  Guernsey  cattle 
was  landed  in  Sydney  by  the  New  South  Wales  Government  in  1898, 
the  breed  has  grown  in  popularity  until  at  the  present  time  they  are 
the  most  sought  after  of  any  of  the  dairy  breeds  by  farmers  who 
wish  to  introduce  new  blood  into  their  herds.  In  every  district  in 
New  South  Wales  in  which  the  breed  has  been  tried,  they  have  given 
almost  universal  satisfaction.  Of  course,  when  I  state  this,  I  mean 
that  the  animals  which  have  been  used  for  the  purpose  of  crossing 
with  the  ordinary  half-bred  cattle,  have  produced  offspring  which 
have  more  than  come  up  to  the  expectations  of  the  farmers  who 
bred  them.  No  doubt  a  great  deal  of  this  almost  abnormal  success 
of  a  new  breed  (because  this  is  the  first  occasion  on  which  there  is 
any  authentic  record  of  Guernseys  having  been  introduced'  into  Aus- 
tralia) was  due  to  the  excellent  selection  which  the  purchasing  agents 
had  managed  to  secure.  Two  of  the  bulls  imported  were  undoubtedly 
of  very  high  class.  These  two  sires,  namely,  Peter  and  Rose  Prince, 
have  left  some  excellent  half-bred  and  purebred  progeny  in  the  State 
of  New  South  Wales.  They  were  two  bulls  of  great  difference  in  type. 
Peter  was  a  little  bit  on  the  coarse  side,  showing  that  virile  character 
which  many  of  the  best  judges  prefer  to  see  in  their  sires,  no  matter 
what  the  animal  is  that  they  are  desirous  of  breeding;  Rose  Prince 
on  the  other  hand  was  all  quality:  he  stood  out  as  an  almost  ideal 
type  of  dairy  bull  combined  with  show  ring  requirements.  Mascu- 
linity was  well  represented  without  any  indication  of  coarseness,  and 
he  possessed  all  those  characteristics  which  Guernsey  fanciers  like 
so  much.  His  type  was  so  distinct  that  I  can  pick  out  his  progeny 
today  from  those  of  any  other  family  of  Guernseys.  This  is  notice- 
able even  in  his  half-breds.  They  possess  great  length,  quality  and 
character,  and  whereas  Peter  has  proved  himself  a  wonderful  animal 
in  the  way  of  begetting  heavy  milk-yielding  females  from  cross-bred 
cows,  Rose  Prince  has  made  his  reputation  more  as  a  sire  of  bulls. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  257 

Not  that  he  has  not  left  some  excellent  females  to  represent  him, 
but  his  males  were  so  stamped  with  his  characteristics  that  they  have 
continued  his  type  in  a  marked  degree  in  their  progeny.  This  is 
evidenced  'by  the  descendants  of  the  bull  Calm  Prince,  an  animal  that 
followed  his  sire  and  Peter  at  the  New  South  Wales  Government 
Stud.  The  portraits  of  Rose  Prince  and  Calm  Prince  are  reproduced 
herewith  so  that  Guernsey  breeders  in  future  may  have  an  oppor- 
tunity of  looking  up  the  type  of  sires  from  which  Guernsey  cattle  in 
Australia,  practically  speaking,  have  sprung.  Peter  was  used  more 
for  mating  with  other  breeds  of  cattle  than  for  the  production  of 
purebred  Guernseys.  This  was  owing  to  the  fact  that  at  the  farm 
where  he  was  first  placed  there  were  only  a  couple  of  purebred  Guern- 
sey cows  kept.  His  records  are  best  seen  in  the  chapter  dealing  with 
experimental  work  in  the  breeding  of  dairy  cattle.  Referring  to  the 
females  imported  in  1898,  five  out  of  the  six  were  excellent  cows,  and 
it  was  difficult  to  say  whether  Calm,  Vivid,  Lady  Blanche,  or  Flaxy 
was  the  best  animal.  Unfortunately  Lady  Blanche  died  soon  after 
her  introduction,  and  has  left  as  a  consequence  no  representatives, 
but  the  other  three  have  left  excellent  specimens,  both  male  and 
female,  and  that  beautiful  cow,  Rose  Vivid  by  Rose  Prince  from  Vivid, 
is  probably  one  of  the  handsomest  types  of  dairy  cows  of  a  Guernsey 
strain  that  it  is  possible  to  find.  She  has  all  the  qualities  of  the  Rose 
Prince  strain,  and  all  the  dairy  characteristics  of  her  mother. 

Guernseys  got  a  foothold  first  in  the  Richmond  River  district 
of  New  South  Wales,  probably  because  there  was  no  prejudice  in 
that  new  and  progressive  place,  and  hence  those  farmers  who  were 
anxious  to  improve  their  herds  gave  the  breed  a  trial.  The  Guernsey 
bull  Peter  was  stationed  there,  and  his  results  were  so  successful  that 
the  breed  at  once  'became  sought  after,  until  now  the  enquiries  for 
young  bulls  of  the  breed  are  very  much  greater  than  the  supply. 
The  publication  of  the  results  of  experiments  carried  out  at  the  Wol- 
longbar  State  Farm  has  caused  a  further  impetus  to  be  given  to  this 
breed,  and  now  enquiries  come  in  daily  from  all  corners  of  New  South 
Wales  asking  for  information  as  to  where  both  male  and  female 
Guernseys  may  be  obtained.  In  fact,  at  the  present  time  a  number 
of  farmers  have  placed  orders  with  the  Government  of  New  South 
Wales  for  the  importation  of  animals  of  this  'breed  from  England. 
This  is  not  a  small  matter  when  it  is  remembered  that  it  costs  at 
least  about  £100  per  head  to  land  specimens  of  the  breed  in  Australia. 
The  New  South  Wales  Government  made  a  second  importation  of 
20  females  in  1907,  and  though  these  on  the  whole  were  not  so  high 
class  as  the  first  specimens  introduced,  still  a  number  of  them  are 
sufficiently  representative  of  the  best  of  the  breed  to  give  very  good 
results. 

Easily  Acclimatized. 

The  animals  readily  acclimatized  themselves  in  those  dairying 
portions  of  the  State  which  show  great  difference  in  climate  and 
soils.  I  refer  to  the  South  Coast  and  North  Coast  districts  of  New 
South  Wales,  where  we  have  placed  imported  cows  and  'bulls.  As 
most  of  my  readers  are  aware,  the  Richmond  and  Tweeds  districts 
on  the  North  Coast  have  a  very  heavy  annual  rainfall  coupled  with 
an  almost  tropical  heat,  and  the  land  is  mainly  of  a  rich  volcanic 
character.  On  the  South  'Coast,  however,  the  land,  generally  speak- 
ing, is  not  so  rich  and  the  extremes  in  temperature  are  very  consider- 


258  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

able.  Very  cold  winters  are  experienced  and  also  warm  summers, 
so  that  the  breed  has  shown  great  adaptability  to  different  climates 
and  soils,  and  this,  no  doubt,  will  serve  as  a  very  important  factor 
in  the  future  welfare  of  the  breed  in  Australia. 

Recent  Importations. 

The  year  1910  has  been  a  noted  one  in  the  Guernsey  world,  as 
far  as  Australia  is  concerned.  At  least  three  new  herds  have  been 
founded,  and  all  by  men  who  demand  only  the  best. 

Mr.  Anthony  Hordern,  who  has  a  place  at  Wilton  Park,  Picton, 
imported  several  of  the  breed,  at  the  same  time  that  his  brother  im- 
ported Jerseys  and  Ayrshires. 

Mr.  J.  W.  Gillespie,  who  has  a  country  place  near  Inverell,  im- 
ported four  females  and  a  bull  brought  from  the  best  herds  in  Eng- 
land, while  Mr.  A.  R.  T.  Payne,  of  Melbourne,  who  has  a  country 
house  at  Lilydale,  Victoria,  imported  seven  cows  and  a  bull,  and  Mr. 
W.  S.  Ruddick,  V.  S.,  imported  a  couple  of  cows. 

In  addition  to  these  importations  made  last  year,  a  number  of 
Guernseys  were  landed  in  Sydney  early  in  March  of  this  year,  the  im- 
porters being  the  Agricultural  Department  of  New  South  Wales,  who 
brought  six  bulls  and  four  cows;  Mrs.  Mabel  Dawson,  of  Berry,  who 
brought  four  females;  and  Mr.  Norticott  of  Lismore,  who  brought 
two  females  and  a  bull.  Mr.  Hugh  H.  Dension,  of  Sydney,  has  also 
added  Guernseys  to  the  dairy  breeds  already  on  his  Eumaralla  Estate, 
Gulgong,  New 'South  Wales,  and  has  imported  three  young  cows, 
securing  at  the  same  time  from  Mr.  Payne  of  Lilydale  a  very  fine 
young  bull  that  was  imported  to  Australia  in  his  mother,  but  which 
has  since  unfortunately  died  of  accidental  poisoning. 

There  has   also   been   a   small   Guernsey  importation   made   into 

Queensland,  two  cows  and  a  bull  having  been  introduced  by  Mr.  E. 
Webster,  of  Landsborough.  Breeders  of  dairy  cattle  in  Australia 
will,  therefore,  have  a  very  much  wider  field  from  which  to  select 
Guernsey  bulls  for  use  in  their  ordinary  herds  than  has  been  the  case 
heretofore,  when  it  was  only  the  New  South  Wales  Government  and 
one  or  two  private  breeders,  such  as  Mr.  Dixon  Cooke,  of  Alston- 
ville,  and  Messrs.  Kinross  Brothers,  of  Jamberoo,  who  bred  pure 
Guernseys  in  Australia. 

Nearly  all  the  Guernseys  imported  into  Australia  have 
come  from  England,  as  Mr.  O'Callaghan's  book  shows,  and 
included  among  them  are  such  well-known  prize  winners  as 
Hayes  Coronation  III  1936,  E.  G.  H.  B.,  that  was  first  in  his 
class  and  champion  at  the  English  Royal  Show  in  1910  and 
also  at  the  Bath  and  West  England  Show,  besides  taking 
numerous  prizes  at  all  of  the  great  shows ;  and  Hayes  Cherub, 
also  first  in  his  class  at  the  English  Royal  and  the  Bath  and 
West  England  in  1910.  In  1911,  the  bull  Ajax  of  Sarnia 
17793  was  sent  to  E.  P.  Perry,  Parkville,  New  South  Wales, 
and  Mr.  O'Callaghan  states  that  this  is  the  first  Guernsey 
imported  into  Australia  from  the  United  States.  He  won 
first  prize  at  the  Royal  Show  at  Sydney  in  1912,  1913  and

1914.  Three  heifers  from  the  Island  also  were  sent  to  Aus- 
tralia that  same  year  and  in  1913  another  lot  of  seven. 

The  Government  of  New  South  Wales  made  the  first  im- 
portation, as  stated  above,  in  1898,  which  included  three  bulls 
and  six  cows;  and  the  second  importation,  in  1907,  was  of 
twenty  cows  and  heifers,  several  of  this  lot  coming  direct 
from  the  Islands.  The  third  importation,  in  1911,  was  of  six 
cows  and  six  bulls.  Some  very  interesting  experiments  have 
been  carried  on  at  the  Government  station  at  Wollongbar. 

It  would  prove  very  interesting  indeed  if  place  could  be 
given  in  this  book  to  all  the  records  of  these  breeding  exper- 
iments, but  the  results  of  only  two  or  three  of  them  can  be 
quoted.  The  cow  Bella,  a  purebred  Shorthorn,  made  the 
following-  records  at  the  station : 

Second    calf    3,600  pounds  milk  in  216  days 

Third    calf     4,120  pounds  milk  in  206  days 

Fourth    calf    3,950  pounds  milk  in  212  days 

Her  daughter  Pebbles,  sired  by  the  Guernsey  bull  Peter,

260  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

this  was  the  purebred  dairy  Shorthorn  cow,  Lady  Dora,  im- 
ported from  England.     Her  records  were  as  follow:

Tenth    calf     3,826  137            _           208 

Lady  Dora  produced  two  heifers  by  imported  English- 
bred  dairy  Shorthorn  bulls,  one  of  which  died  before  having 
a  calf  but  looked  very  promising.  The  record  of  the  next 
one,  Lady  Dora  II,  is  given  herewith :

Third    calf     .  2,803  118  211 

At  the  next  calving  she  had  twins,  a  bull  and  a  heifer, 
the  heifer  proving  a  freemartin.  The  next  daughter  was 
Doreen,  sired  by  the  Guernsey  bull  Peter,  and  her  records 
follow :

yielded  287  pounds  butter  in  a  milking  period  of  321  days. 

The  summary  goes  on  to  say  that,  as  far  as  the  records 
go,  the  Guernsey  has  produced  the  best  results  of  all  the  dairy 
breeds  used  in  the  crosses.  More  work  has  been  done  with 
the  Guernsey  than  with  the  other  breeds  but  some  work  was 
done  with  all  four  of  the  leading  dairy  breeds. 

Recently  some  semi-official  yearly  testing  has  been  done 
in  Australia  with  the  following  results :

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  263 

Even  better  records  are  being  made  this  year. 

I  tried  to  get  a  few  pictures  of  prize  Guernseys  in  Aus- 
tralia but  the  war  censor  held  them  up.  Trengwainton 
Acorn  62,  A.,  that  was  champion  in  1910,  1911,  1912,  1913  and 
1914,  a  son  of  the  great  English  show  cow,  Hayes  Olive,  is 
particularly  choice. 

It  would  seem  that  if  better  transportation  facilities  to 
Australia  were  available,  American  breeders  might  expect  to 
find  a  very  good  market  for  Guernseys  there. 


CHAPTER  XII. 

The  Guernsey  Grade  Cow 

There  is  in  every  city  a  constantly  increasing  demand  for 
high-class  milk,  and  by  this  is  meant  milk  that  combines  clean- 
liness, yellow  color,  and  high  content  of  fat  and  total  solids. 
This  demand  is  apart  from  the  demand  for  certified  milk, 
which  depends  almost  entirely  upon  its  cleanliness  for  its 
market. 

There  are  now  hundreds  of  cities  in  this  country  where 
first  grade  milk  is  selling  for  eight,  10  and  even  12c  per  quart, 
and  produced  under  conditions  that  are  no  better  than  ought 
to  prevail  on  every  dairy  farm.  A  large  part  of  the  milk  that 
sells  for  these  prices  is  produced  by  herds  of  purebred  or  grade 
Guernsey  cows. 

While  the  number  of  herds  of  purebred  Guernseys  is  con- 
stantly increasing,  it  will  be  a  century  or  more  before  the 
number  of  purebred  animals  can  have  increased  sufficiently 
to  fill  the  demand  for  cows  for  this  use,  and  it  will  be  in- 
finitely longer  before  this  will  be  done.  The  bulk  of  the 
farmers  who  desire  an  efficient  cow  must  therefore  depend  on 
the  grade  Guernsey  to  get  her. 

The  leading  characteristics  of  the  Guernsey  grade  are, 
of  course,  essentially  the  same  as  of  her  full-blood  sister.  She 
is  first  of  all  unusually  quiet  and  gentle  and  therefore  less  ex- 
cited by  strangers  or  strange  conditions  than  a  more  nervous 
cow.  This  point  is  worthy  of  more  attention  than  it  usually 
receives.  She  is  quite  invariably  an  easy  milker,  having  al- 
most ideal  teats.  She  is  of  a  size  (weighing  1,000  to  1,200 
pounds)  that  at  once  appeals  to  the  dairyman;  and  while  of 
much  less  importance  than  her  other  characteristics,  still  she 
is  universally  liked  on  account  of  her  size. 

The  Guernsey  has  so  often  proved  herself  the  most  eco- 
nomical producer  of  butterfat  that  it  seems  unnecessary  to 
write  upon  this  point,  but  if  prospective  dairymen  who  are 
debating  which  breed  to  select  would  study  this  point  of  eco- 
nomical production  as  much  as  it  deserves,  they  would  turn 
to  the  Guernsey  in  even  greater  numbers  than  at  present.  In 
the  hurry  to  get  a  big  production  of  milk  its  quality  and  cost 
of  production  are  too  often  overlooked.  The  grade  Guernsey 
cow  will  test  for  the  year  3.5  to  5.5  per  cent,  varying,  of  course, 
with  different  individuals,  and  it  is  safe  to  say  that  her  milk 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  265 

will  average  4.5  per  cent  butterfat,  taking  the  yearly  average 
of  different  herds. 

The  official  yearly  records  of  over  4,500  purebred  Guern- 
sey cows  show  that  the  milk  averages  about  5  per  cent  butter- 
fat;  and  as  the  Guernsey  grades  of  the  country  are  largely 
of  Shorthorn,  Jersey,  or  native  foundation  the  estimate  of  4.5 
per  cent  is  likely  below  rather  than  above  their  average. 

This  would  indicate  a  total  solid  content  of  about  14  per 
cent,  milk  plenty  rich  enough  for  ordinary  use  and  very  much 
superior  in  quality  to  ordinary  milk.  But  the  most  convincing 
arguments  in  favor  of  the  Guernseys  are  the  comments  of 
those  who  have  had  her  in  their  dairies. 

Thomas  Ellis,  Marquette,  Wisconsin,  writing  under  date 
of  February  22,  1910,  said :  "The  Guernseys  have  been  very 
satisfactory  with  me;  we  milked  11  last  year,  four  of  them 
being  but  two-year-olds,  and  they  averaged  us  $117.24  each. 
They  are  doing  far  better  than  any  other  cows  in  this  com- 
munity, and  a  number  of  the  farmers  are  getting  interested, 
and  would  change  to  Guernsey  if  they  could  buy.  I  regret 
now  that  I  did  not  begin  with  them  at  an  earlier  date.  I  re- 
ceived $106.46  from  our  local  creamery  in  January,  1910,  for 
the  milk  of  eight  cows." 

M.  L.  Welles,  Fond  du  Lac,  Wisconsin,  whose  herd  was 
in  1909  about  half  purebreds  and  half  grades,  tells  me  that 
from  his  herd  of  cows  averaging  thirty-nine  and  one-half  in 
number  for  the  year  he  received  $4,109  for  a  year's  cream  de- 
livered at  the  railroad  station,  a  very  profitable  return  for  so 
large  a  herd. 

The  following  is  from  a  little  circular,  "Just  a  Little  His- 
tory," issued  by  Lloyd  Rundell,  Roberts,  Wisconsin.  •  "The 
first  purebred  Guernsey  bull  calf  born  on  the  World's  Fair 
grounds  in  Chicago  in  1893  was  bought  by  A.  E.  Rundell,  of 
Livingston,  Wisconsin.  Nor  was  this  his  first  purebred  Guern- 
sey bull.  He  had  decided  to  go  into  the  dairy  business,  and 
it  did  not  take  him  long  to  get  on  the  'main  track/  He  had 
built  a  150-ton  silo  in  1892,  and  had  owned  a  Babcock  tester 
for  several  years.  He  installed  the  King  system  of  ventila- 
tion in  his  barn  in  1894. 

"During  the  winter  of  1888  his  herd  of  grade  Shorthorns 
averaged  one-half  pound  of  butter  per  day.  They  were  of 
the  'dual  purpose'  variety — the  'Jim'  Hill  type,  the  Shaw 
kind — good  for  his  children  to  learn  to  milk  by,  and  if  they 
happened  to  'go  wrong'  were  worth  from  2^  to  3c  a  pound 
for  beef.  He  realized  that  it  would  be  slow  business  to  grade 


266  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

up  from  these,  so  bought  all  the  high-grade  Jersey  heifer 
calves  he  could  find.  There  were  no  Guernsey  grades  to  be 
had. 

"In  a  few  years  the  herd  averaged  392  pounds  of  butter- 
fat.  During  the  months  of  December  and  January,  the  last 
winter  the  .grades  were  kept,  the  herd  of  26  cows  averaged  47 
pounds  of  butterfat  per  month. 

"About  this  time  he  decided  to  go  into  purebreds.  The 
grade  Guernseys  were  sold  for  $120  per  head.  There  were 
several  grade  Jerseys  that  were  just  as  good  producers  as  the 
grade  Guernseys,  but  had  to  be  sold  for  $71  per  head." 

The  individual  records  of  some  grade  Guernsey  cows  may 
be  of  interest.  Elizabeth  A.,  a  grade  sired  by  Coralman  3193, 
was  dropped  in  May,  1895,  and  dropped  her  calf  in  1897.  Her 
record  for  eleven  years  was  as  follows  : 

Year  Pounds  milk  Pounds  butter 

1897  5,687  268 

1898  7,750  400 

1899  9,775  479

1907  8,032  400 

Totals     98,377  5,145 

Averages    8,943  467.7 

These  records  are  from  January  to  January.  One  year  she 
calved  in  September  and  did  not  drop  another  calf  for  a  year 
and  a  half,  and  in  12  months  she  gave  over  12,000  pounds  of 
milk  and  605  pounds  of  butterfat,  equal  to  705  pounds  of 
butter.-  She  was  owned  by  H.  D.  Griswold,  La  Crosse,  Wis- 
consin. Mr.  Griswold  has  had  many  grade  Guernsey  cows 
make  over  500  pounds  of  butter  per  year,  and  many  years  the 
return  from  the  creamery  has  been  well  over  $100  per  cow. 

The  Jackson  Farmers'  Club  of  Duluth,  Minnesota,  in  the 
spring  of  1913  organized  what  they  called  a  Grade  Guernsey 
Production  Register.  In  this  association  records  made  in  reg- 
ularly organized  cow  testing  associations  are  recognized,  and 
no  animal  is  admitted  to  the  registry  that  has  not  completed 
a  record  of  at  least  200  pounds  of  butterfat  in  a  year.  The 
progeny  of  admitted  cows,  sired  by  purebred  Guernsey  bulls, 
are  eligible  to  record,  also  any  heifer  sired  by  a  bull  whose 
dam  has  recorded  300  pounds  of  fat  or  more.  The  registry  is 
to  be  carried  on  in  'the  same  manner  as  that  of  purebred  rec- 
ord associations  and  the  initials  G.  P.  R.,  standing  for  Guern-

sey  Production  Register,  shall  be  prefixed  to  the  registry  num- 
ber, followed  by  F.  S.,  standing  for  Foundation  Stock,  if  cow 
is  admitted  on  record  alone. 

In  all  work  connected  with  a  registry  of  grades,  the  diffi- 
culty is  to  get  owners  to  test  their  grade  cows  under  condi- 
tions that  would  make  such  a  register  reliable  and  therefore 
possible,  but  without  doubt  great  good  will  result  when  it  be- 
comes established  on  a  working  basis.  Some  breeders  of  pure- 
bred cattle  fear  that  bred-for-production  grades  might  restrict 
the  demand  for  purebreds,  on  account  of  lower  prices.  There 
appears  to  be  little  danger  of  this  unless  the  grades  should 
prove  themselves  better  producers  than  the  purebreds,  which 
is  scarcely  possible.  For  economical  production  of  butterfat 
or  for  the  highest  class  of  market  milk,  the  Guernsey  grade 
is  the  ideal  cow  for  the  average  dairyman. 

The  demand  for  grade  Guernsey  cows  far  exceeds  the 
supply,  and  I  have  known  many  of  them  to  sell  in  every  part 
of  the  United  States  the  last  year  or  two  up  to  $150  each,  and 
several  for  from  $200  to  $250.  I  have  also  seen  $50  refused 
for  grade  Guernsey  calves  six  months  old,  and  yearling  heifers 
frequently  sell  for  $75  each  by  the  carload.  The  grades  of 
no  other  breed  create  such  demand  or  bring  such  prices  as  the 
grade  Guernsey,  and  this  promises  to  be  true  for  years  to  come.

There  were  23  grade  Guernseys  in  this  competition  and 
they  gave  an  average  of  10,073  pounds  milk,  testing  4.72  per 
cent  fat,  equal  to  475  pounds  fat  for  the  year.  This  is  more 
than  double  the  average  annual  production  of  the  cows  of 
any  state  in  the  union,  and  may  be  taken  as  an  indication  of 
what  may  be  expected  from  the  use  of  a  purebred  Guernsey 
bull  in  a  herd  of  grade  or  common  cows. 

The  largest  record  of  the  twenty-three  was  made  by  the 
half-blood  cow  Jerry,  owned  by  A.  N.  Schmit,  Appleton,  Wis- 
consin. She  was  bred  by  Charles  Breitrick  of  the  same  place, 
and  was  sired  by  King  of  Ellington  11096,  a  bull  of  Mr. 
Breitrick's  own  breeding.  She  was  10  years  old  at  the  time 
of  the  test.  Her  record  for  the  year  was  as  follows :

Totals    15,744  729.87 

I  think  this  is  the  largest  record  ever  made  by  a  cow  that 
calved  again  during  the  year  of  her  test,  and  the  largest  record 
ever  made  by  a  grade  cow  of  any  breed,  up  to  1912. 

Her  feed  for  the  year  consisted  of  1,191  pounds  of  Ajax 
flakes,  639  pounds  wheat  bran,  80  pounds  gluten  feed,  253 
pounds  ground  oats,  682  pounds  corn  meal,  960  pounds  soil- 
ing crops,  8,332  pounds  corn  silage,  1,374  pounds  alfalfa  hay, 
164  pounds  oil  meal,  704  pounds  ground  barley,  604  pounds 
mixed  hay,  1,191  pounds  Unicorn  dairy  ration,  750  pounds 
beets,  20  pounds  peas,  53  pounds  corn  stover. 

At  market  prices  this  food  was  worth  $99.20,  a  feed  in- 
vestment that  would  scare  many  if  not  most  dairymen,  but 
think  of  the  net  returns  at  Wisconsin  creamery  prices  for  fat 
— $130.35  for  fat  alone  above  cost  of  the  feed. 

The  largest  records  made  in  this  competition  by  grades 
of  other  breeds  were :

At  least  three  other  grade  Guernseys  made  a  larger  net 
profit  than  the  best  grade  of  any  of  the  breeds.  They  were :

Bessie  was  but  3  years  and  4  months  old  at  the  beginning 
of  the  test.  These  figures  ought  to  prove  to  any  dairyman 
that  the  grade  Guernsey  is  pre-eminently  the  cow  for  the  man 
whose  cows  must  pay  for  their  living  and  for  his  also. 

A  great  deal  of  discussion  has  been  carried  on  both 
through  the  press  and  in  breeders'  meetings  in  recent  years 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  271 

relative  to  the  establishment  of  a  register  for  Guernsey  grade 
cows,  with  hopes  of  encouraging  breeding  along  lines  of  pro- 
duction shown  by  the  work  of  such  cows  as  those  that  took 
part  in  the  Wisconsin  dairy  cow  demonstration.  The  Ameri- 
can Guernsey  Cattle  Club,  at  the  annual  meeting  held  in  May, 
1913,  considered  the  proposition  of  recognizing  in  some  way 
such  records  and  passed  the  following  rules : 

List  of  Meritorious  Grade  Guernsey  Cows. 

"1.  Every  animal  eligible  to  publication  in  this  list  must  be  sired 
by  a  registered  Guernsey  bull. 

"The  owner  must  send  signed  statement  certifying  to  the  name 
and  register  number  of  the  Guernsey  bull  who  is  the  sire  of  the 
grade  Guernsey  Cow  submitted  for  entry  in  this  list. 

"Such  statement  shall  a4so  include  the  age,  description  and  sketch 
markings  of  the  animal  offered  and  shall  be  on  blanks  prepared  by 
The  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club. 

"When  such  statement  is  filed'  with  The  American  Guernsey 
Cattle  Club,  the  cows  thus  described  shall  be  tested  in  a  similar 
manner  to  the  cows  for  the  Advanced  Register. 

"2.  The  records  must  be  supervised  and  authenticated  by  state 
agricultural  experiment  stations  or  colleges,  and  made  under  con- 
ditions substantially  similar  to  those  in  effect  in  the  Advanced  Reg- 
ister of  Guernsey  cattle. 

"3.  Records  made  in  regularly  authorized  cow  testing  associa- 
tions may  be  accepted,  with  the  approval  of  the  Advanced  Registry 
committee,  where  they  are  recognized  by  an  agricultural  experiment 
station. 

"4.  The  requirements  shall  correspond  in  all  respects  to  those 
in  effect  in  the  Advanced  Register  regarding  the  amount  of  butterfat. 

"If  a  record  is  commenced  the  day  the  animal  is  two  years  old, 
or  previous  to  that  day,  she  must  produce  within  one  year  from  that 
date  250.5  pounds  butterfat.  For  each  day  the  animal  is  over  two 
years  old  at  the  beginning  of  her  year's  record,  the  amount  of  butter- 
fat  she  will  be  required  to  produce  in  the  year  will  be  established 
by  adding  .1  (one-tenth)  of  a  pound  for  each  such  day,  to  the  250.5 
pounds  required  when  two  years  old.  This  ratio  is  applicable  until 
the  animal  is  five  years  old,  when  the  required  amount  will  have 
reached  360  pounds  which  will  be  the  amount  of  butterfat  required 
of  all  cows  five  years  old  or  over.  These  yearly  standards  are  based 
upon  one  complete  year's  record  from  the  time  of  beginning,  regard- 
less of  the  time  lost  by  being  dry  or  calving  during  that  period, 
should  such  be  the  case. 

"5.  All  expense  in  connection  with  the  supervision  of  the  test 
shall  be  borne  by  the  owner-  of  the  cow,  and  there  will  be  no  charge 
by  The  American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  for  the  entry  and  publication 
of  such  record,  after  same  has  been  approved. 

"6.  That  the  list  shall  be  under  the  general  supervision  and  di- 
rection of  the  executive  committee,  who  shall  have  power  to  make 
such  rules  and  regulations  as  may  be  necessary  to  carry  out  the  ob- 
ject of  this  resolution." 


272  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

Up  to  this  date  very  few  cows  have  been  entered  under 
these  rules,  but  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  this  work  can  be  com- 
bined with  that  of  the  cow  testing"  associations  and  the  merit 
of  the  grade  Guernsey  be  demonstrated  to  an  even  greater 
extent  than  it  has  been  up  to  this  time. 

Guernsey  grade  herds  under  test  in  different  cow  testing 
associations  are  in  almost  every  instance  leading  all  other 
grade  herds  in  yearly  butterfat  production  and  profit.  The 
following  figures  showing  the  results  of  the  East  La  Crosse 
County  Cow  Testing  Association,  published  June  12,  1914, 
will  be  of  interest : 

The  East  La  Crosse  County  Cow  Testing  Association  has  com- 
pleted a  year's  testing.  Many  cows  have  proved  themselves  worthy 
of  attention,  and  the  testing,  by  disclosing  the  poor  cows,  has  helped 
to  take  the  curse  off  others  of  the  same  herd. 

The  five  herds  in  the  test  association  having  the  best  production 
records  for  the  year  are  as  folows: 

1.  Elmer   Smith,    7   grade    Guernsey   cows — average   production, 
341.1  pounds  butterfat. 

2.  Joseph  Jones,   12  grade  Guernsey  cows — average  production, 
324.5  pounds  'butterfat. 

3.  E.   D.   Miller,   18  grade   Guernsey  cows — average  production, 
316.8  pounds  butterfat. 

4.  Sherman    Dudley,   22   grade   and   purebred    Guernsey   cows — 
average  production,  301.5  pounds  butterfat. 

5.  Alfred    E.    White,    25    grade    Guernsey    and    Durham    cows — 
average  production,  296.6  pounds  butterfat. 

The  cow  having  the  highest  butterfat  production  for  the  year  is 
owned  by  Sherman  Dudley.  She  produced  433.2  pounds  of  butterfat 
from  9,507  pounds  milk,  and  returned  $3.40  for  every  dollar  expended 
for  feed. 

The  most  economical  producer  is  owned  by  H.  D.  Lovejoy.  This 
cow  returned  $4.66  for  every  dollar's  worth  of  feed  consumed,  pro- 
ducing 415  pounds  butterfat  from  9,204  pounds  of  milk.  Mr.  Lovejoy 
also  has  another  cow  that  returned  $4  for  each  dollar's  worth  of  feed, 
producing  342  pounds  of  'butterfat  from  6,683  pounds  of  milk. 

Victor  Stiehl,  of  Albert  Lea,  Minnesota,  has  for  several 
years  led  all  cow  testing  associations  with  his  grade  Guern- 
seys. The  tester  in  charge  of  the  cow  testing  association  at 
Scandinavia,  Wisconsin,  reported  that  72  cows  under  test  in 
that  association  produced  during  the  month  of  May,  1914, 
over  40  pounds  fat  each,  a  large  proportion  of  the  cows  being 
grade  Guernseys.  The  best  cow  made  over  82  pounds  fat 
and  was,  of  course,  a  Guernsey  grade. 

The  figures  published  in  June,  1914,  of  the  work  of  the 
cows  at  Island  Farm,  Island,  Minnesota,  owned  by  H.  M. 
Hartley,  of  Duluth,  are  instructive.  The  following  extract 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


273 


from  the  published  report  brings  out  another  enviable  record 
for  the  grade  Guernsey. 

The  herd  is  composed,  in  the  main,  of  purebred  and  grade  Guern- 
seys, but  includes  16  purebred  Holstein-Friesian  cattle.  These  are 
all  housed  in  the  big  200-foot  barn  in  which  stand  152  head  in  steel 
and  concrete  stalls. 

Following  are  the  averages  in  milk  production,  stated  in  pounds, 
roughly  speaking,  a  pint  to  the  pound. 


. 


Grade   Guernsey   cow   Polander.     Yearly  record,    16,286.1   pounds  milk;    844.8  pounds 
butterfat.     Owned  by  Montana  State  College  of  Agriculture. 

Average  milk  production  for  the  year  just  closed,  including  in 
every  case  every  animal  having  completed  a  year's  work,  from  first 
calf  heifers  to  aged  cows  : 

Purebred  Guernseys   (all  records  official) 8,919.25  pounds 

Grade    Guernseys    7,354.59  pounds 

Grand  average  entire  purebred  and  grade  Guernsey  herd..  8,018.38  pounds 

Purebred    Holstein-Friesians    10,418.22  pounds 

Grand   average   entire   milking   herd 8,486.64  pounds 

It  was  only  a  few  years  ago  that  a  5,000-pound  cow  was  a  reason- 
ably high  mark  to  pull  for  in  this  section,  but  the  Island  farm  now 
shows  a  grand  herd  average  3,486.64  pounds  above  that  mark. 

During  the  last  year  only  two  animals  in  the  herd  have  made 
less  than  6,000  pounds  of  milk,  the  records  of  these  two  being,  respec- 
tively, 5,756.2  and  5,007.3  pounds. 

One  of  the  farm's  grade  Guernseys,  Lady  Jane,  made  last  year 
over  seven  tons  of  milk,  to  be  exact  14,269.1  pounds,  testing  4.32  per 
cent  butterfat,  yielding  a  total  of  616.43  pounds  butterfat  or  the 


274  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

equivalent    of   744.71    pounds   of   commercial   butter,   more   than   two 
pounds  of  butter  per  day  for  365  consecutive  days. 

These  results  have  ben  made  possible  by  the  most  careful  selec- 
tion of  foundation  stock,  and  the  use  during  the  last  10  years  of  only 
purebred  herd  sires  of  note,  backed  by  great  production  records. 

The  record  of  the  grade  Guernsey  cow,  Polander,  made 
at  the  Montana  Agricultural  College,  is  worthy  of  particular 
note. 

Regarding  the  above  grade  cow,  Prof.  G.  L.  Martin  of 
the  Montana  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts 
located  at  Bozeman,  Montana  writes :  "This  cow  is  one  we 
purchased  from  a  shipment  that  came  from  Minnesota  so  we 
do  riot  know  anything  about  her  breeding,  but  we  know  she 
has  been  a  wonderful  cow.  She  made  good  records  from  1908 
to  1911,  but  she  freshened  in  April,  1911,  and  continued  in 
milk  nearly  three  years  before  she  freshened  again.  We  have 
her  records  for  the  first  two  years.  The  first  year  after  freshen- 
ing she  made  in  365  days  the  following  record :  16,286.1  pounds 
of  milk  and  844.8  pounds  of  butter-fat.  She  freshened  again 
in  July,  1915,  and  this  is  her  picture  when  she  freshened  the 
last  time.  In  the  past  six  months  she  has  made  the  following 
records : 

Pounds  Pounds

August     1,815.1  87.76 

September      1,662.0  82.37

November     1,327.1  70.55

January    1,085.9  66.07 

Total     8,469.7  435.63 

"We  are  not  expecting  such  a  high  record  from  the  cow 
this  time  but,  if  she  continues  the  way  she  is  starting  out, 
she  promises  to  make  a  very  fair  record  for  this  year.  I  will 
be  glad  to  furnish  further  information  relative  to  this  cow  at 
any  time." 

Another  good  record  made  by  a  Guernsey  cow  is  that  of 
a  cow  owned  by  C.  J.  Hinds,  of  Springfield,  N.  Y.  She  was 
seven-eighths  Guernsey  and  produced  in  a  year  13,388  pounds 
milk  and  753.4  pounds  butterfat. 

Not  all  dairymen  can  become  breeders  of  purebreds, 
which  is  self-evident  from  the  limited  supply ;  but  every  farmer 
with  a  herd  of  good  cows,  whether  native  or  grades  of  some 
other  breed,  can  in  five  or  six  years'  time  breed  a  herd  of 
grade  Guernseys  that  will  not  only  yield  profitable  creamery 
returns,  but  also  a  large  revenue  through  the  sale  of  surplus 
stock. 


CHAPTER  XIII. 

Feeding  and  Care  of  Cows  for 
Record  Making 

It  has  seemed  wise  to  me  to  have  a  chapter  in  this  History 
of  the  Guernsey  Breed  on  the  feeding  and  care  of  cows  for 
making  records,  and  I  asked  R.  G.  Murphy,  who  was  for  five 
years  in  charge  of  the  Anna  Dean  Farm,  at  Barberton,  Ohio, 
to  write  such  a  chapter.  Mr.  Murphy  was  very  reluctant  to 
do  this,  but  finally,  in  co-operation  with  Carl  Gockerell,  who 
was  responsible  with  Mr.  Murphy  for  the  records  made  at 
the  Anna  Dean  Farm,  they  prepared  the  following.  The  large 
number  of  large  records  made  at  the  Anna  Dean  Farm  attests 
the  fact  that  they  know  what  they  are  talking  about. 


In  discussing  the  subject  of  the  feeding  and  care  of  the 
Guernsey  cow  one  may  properly  begin  with  the  feeding  and 
care  of  the  dam  of  the  unborn  calf. 

Brief  mention  is  made  here  of  the  importance  of  know- 
ing that  not  only  the  general  health  of  the  cow  is  good  at 
the  time  of  conception  but  that  the  generative  organs  are  in 
a  healthy  condition. 

The  cow  having  been  bred  she  should  have  an  abundance 
of  feed  of  a  kind  that  will  stimulate  a  large  and  persistent 
milk  flow,  as  it  is  believed  that  the  tendency  toward  large 
production  at  the  pail  may  be  strengthened,  in  the  case  of 
the  embryo  calf,  by  proper  feeding  of  the  dam  during  her 
period  of  gestation. 

Feed  the  pregnant  cow,  therefore,  in  such  a  manner  as 
will  induce  a  large  and  persistent  milk  flow  during  her  entire 
period  of  lactation.  She  should  be  kept  in  full,  though  not  in- 
creasing, flesh  until  the  time  arrives  when  she  should  be 
turned  dry  preparatory  to  next  freshening.  While  dry  she 
should  be  fed  such  an  amount  of  feed  as  will  bring  her  to  a 
high  degree  of  flesh  by  a  week  before  the  date  of  birth  of 
the  calf. 

Cows  very  frequently  accept  the  service  of  the  bull  several 
weeks,  even,  after  they  are  in  calf,  and  this  leads  to  confusion 
as  to  the  date  when  she  may  calve.  In  a  case  of  this  kind 
and  where  the  cow  has  not  been  turned  dry  in  time,  give  her 
sufficient  feed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  unborn  calf 
and  also  to  keep  up  her  milk  flow.  Experience  shows  this  to 


276  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

be  a  better  practice  than  an  attempt  to  force  the  cow  dry  by 
partial  starvation  or  the  use  of  feed  stuffs  unsuited  for  milk 
production.  Not  only  will  the  cow  produce  more  heavily 
when  she  again  freshens,  but  the  calf  will  be  stronger  and 
more  vigorous  at  birth. 

For  the  dry  cow,  feeds  rich  in  protein  and  bone-forming 
material  are  required.  While  feed  stuffs  rich  in  carbon  will 
produce  as  high  a  degree  of  flesh  and  at  a  lower  cost  than  will 
the  proteins,  yet  the  resulting  feverish  condition  of  the  cow 
and  the  weak  condition  of  the  calf  make  their  use  during  this 
time  undesirable.  The  following  mixture,  in  addition  to  hay 
and  silage,  is  advised :  three  parts  wheat  bran,  two  parts 
ground  oats,  one  part  hominy  meal  or  corn  meal,  one  part  oil 
meal  (old  process)  and  three  parts  "Ajax"  flakes  or  corn  3  D 
grains.  The  use  of  gluten  feeds  is  to  be  avoided  at  this  time 
on  account  of  their  tendency  to  cause  udder  troubles.  Wher- 
ever obtainable,  fresh  roots  should  form  part  of  the  daily  ra- 
tion. Failing  to  secure  them,  one  may  resort  to  beet  pulp, 
either  fresh  or  the  dried  pulp  soaked  in  water.  The  proper 
use  of  either  will  overcome  the  tendency  toward  constipation 
and  fever  natural  to  the  dry  cow,  especially  during  the  winter 
season.  Molasses  is  especially  good  for  adding  flesh  rapidly 
and  also  acts  as  a  mild  laxative. 

As  soon  as  the  cow's  udder  begins  to  show  a  feverish  con- 
dition, change  the  feed  to  two  parts  wheat  bran,  two  parts 
ground  oats,  and  one  part  oil  meal,  and  continue  the  use  of 
roots  or  dried  beet  pulp.  No  cow  should  receive  over  five 
pounds  daily  of  grain  during  the  week  preceding  freshening. 
If  a  tendency  toward  constipation  exists,  give  daily  a  mod- 
erate physic,  using  one  and  one-half  to  two  pounds  of  glauber 
salts  to  which  one  teaspoonful  of  hyposulphite  of  soda  has 
been  added. 

It  is  assumed  that  a  record  of  the  service  date  has  been 
kept,  and  knowing  the  date  of  expected  freshening  the  care- 
taker should  be  on  hand  to  render  the  cow  any  necessary  aid. 
A  wrong  presentation  or  an  especially  large  calf  will  make 
assistance  necessary.  In  the  case  of  prolonged  labor  or  scant 
secretion,  inject  into  the  vagina  a  pint  of  raw  linseed  oil.  This 
will  be  found  a  great  aid  toward  quick  delivery. 

During  the  first  week  following  freshening  continue  the 
use  of  the  same  feed  mixture  as  advocated  for  the  week  pre- 
ceding calving.  To  aid  in  an  early  expulsion  of  the  placenta 
the  feed  should  be  steamed  for  two  hours  before  feeding  and 
slightly  warmed  water  should  be  placed  at  her  disposal.  The 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  277 

use  of  cold  water  at  this  time  may  result  in  retention  of  the 
afterbirth. 

Bring  the  cow  to  full  feed  gradually.  Begin  with  about 
10  pounds  of  silage  per  day  in  addition  to  all  the  good  hay 
she  wants.  To  this  add  not  to  exceed  four  to  five  pounds 
of  grain  daily,  and  increase  at  the  rate  of  two-tenths  to  three- 
tenths  of  a  pound  per  day  until  she  is  on  full  feed,  which  will 
be'at  the  end  of  four  to  five  weeks.  On  account  of  too  heavy 
grain  feeding  soon  after  freshening  a  large  number  of  cows 
fail  to  show  the  best  work  of  which  they  are  capable.  The 
fat  accumulated  while  the  cow  is  dry  carries  her  over  the 
first  few  weeks  following  freshening  in  fine  condition  without 
the  addition  of  much  grain  to  the  ration. 

If  the  cow  is  to  be  entered  for  a  yearly  record  it  is  a 
matter  of  the  .utmost  importance  that  she  be  supplied  with 
hay  of  the  very  best  quality  obtainable,  if  the  best  results  are 
desired.  The  hay  should  be  soft,  full  of  leaves,  fine  of  stem, 
and  cured  without  having  been  wet.  Where  hay  has  been 
exposed  to  one  moderate  rain  a  very  large  proportion  of  the 
most  digestible  part  of  its  constituents  is  lost.  The  second 
cutting  of  alfalfa  is  much  to  be  preferred  to  any  other  form 
of  roughage.  Good  hay  is  the  most  important  part  of  the 
ration.  No  grain  of  any  kind  or  in  any  amount  in  the  absence 
of  good  hay  will  cause  the  cow  to  produce  the  best  results 
at  the  pail.  Far  too  little  importance  is  made  of  this  point 
by  the  average  writer  or  feeder.  Experience  has  shown  time 
after  time  the  importance  of  this  part  of  the  ration,  and  it  is 
desired  here  to  make  this  point  especially  emphatic. 

Feed  hay  often  and  in  small  amounts,  only  so  much  at  a 
time  as  the  cow  will  consume  and  with  evident  relish.  From 
hay  of  good  quality  the  cow  not  only  secures  a  large  amount 
of  nutriment  but  on  account  of  its  palatability  she  is  induced 
to  eat  a  relatively  large  amount  of  it.  This  when  mixed  with 
the  grain  in  the  stomach  forms  a  loose,  porous  mass  through 
which  the  digestive  juices  pass  readily.  Again  the  relatively 
large  proportion  of  roughage  in  the  stomach  makes  the  raising 
and  rechewing  of  the  food  necessary,  resulting  in,  a  large 
flow  of  saliva,  so  essential  in  the  process  of  digestion. 

The  silage  should  be  made  from  well-matured  corn  rich 
in  grain.  In  the  case  of  both  silage  and  hay  it  is  not  only 
positively  useless  but  actually  a  hindrance  to  good  work 
when  the  cow  is  required  to  work  over  a  large  mass  of  ma- 
terial lacking  in  nutriment. 

The  use  of  roots  is  especially  advised  for  the  large  pro- 


278  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

ducer.  They  are  valuable  not  so  much  on  account  of  the 
nutriments  they  contain  as  on  account  of  their  good  effect  on 
the  digestive  tract  and  as  an  aid  in  maintaining  a  keen  appe- 
tite. In  the  absence  of  roots  fresh  beet  pulp  or  dried  pulp 
may  be  substituted.  The  latter  should  be  soaked  with  water 
for  12  hours  before  feeding. 

Should  the  cow  show  a  too  rapid  loss  of  flesh,  finely 
ground  corn  meal  may  be  substituted  for  part  of  the  grain 
allowance  (the  amount  to  be  determined  by  the  condition  of 
the  cow),  to  which  may  be  added  up  to  three  pints  daily  of 
molasses. 

In  planning  the  grain  ration,  the  recognized  feeding- 
standards  are  to  be  used  merely  as  a  guide,  which  is  all  that 
is  claimed  for  them.  Especially  in  the  case  of  the  large  pro- 
ducers, a  ration  conforming  to  a  certain  feeding  standard  may 
be  well  suited  to  the  requirements  of  one  cow  and  be  utterly 
unsuited  to  another  of  a  different  temperament.  The  feeder 
can  determine  only  by  experience  the  grain  mixture  on  which 
the  individual  cow  will  yield  the  maximum  results  at  the  pail. 

Having  a  variety  of  grains  at  his  disposal,  the  feeder's 
problem  of  determining  the  best  grain  mixture  for  each  cow 
is  greatly  simplified,  and  the  chances  of  the  cow's  tiring  of 
her  feed  are  greatly  reduced. 

Prices  and  availability  of  foodstuffs  vary  to  such  an  ex- 
tent in  different  parts  of  the  country  that  it  is  useless  to  sug- 
gest here  any  certain  grain  mixture.  Good  grain  mixtures 
may  be  composed  from  so  many  different  foodstuffs  and  in 
such  a  variety  of  proportions  that  it  makes  but  little  differ- 
ence what  grains  are  used  so  long  as  bulkiness,  comparative 
freedom  from  indigestible  fiber,  and  palatability  are  secured  in 
the  ration.  The  matter  of  palatability  is  important  since  upon 
it  depends  the  amount  which  the  cow  will  eat  with  a  relish. 

The  milk  flow  can  be  materially  increased  by  wetting  the 
feed. 

In  securing  the  best  results  it  is  very  important  that  par- 
ticular attention  be  paid  to  keeping  up  a  heavy  and  persistent 
milk  flow.  Nothing  can  be  fed  that  will  influence  the  percent- 
age of  fat  in  the  milk,  and  it  is  only  by  securing  a  large  milk 
production  that  great  records  can  be  made. 

For  the  successful  making  of  a  large  record  quite  as  much 
depends  upon  the  man  who  milks  the  cow  as  upon  the  man 
who  feeds  her.  By  proper  manipulation  of  the  udder  the  skill- 
ful milker  can  induce  the  cow  to  produce  the  last  ounce  of 
milk  of  which  she  is  capable  and  also  to  maintain  a  persistent 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  279 

flow  throughout  her  period  of  lactation.  In  a  herd  in  which 
there  are  several  milkers,  each  of  which  is  apparently  equally 
skillful,  it  may  be  found  by  experiment  that  a  certain  cow  will 
produce  more  for  one  milker  than  for  another.  This  refers 
to  the  percentage  of  fat  in  the  milk  rather  than  to  the  quantity 
of  milk.  The  difference  may  probably  be  best  explained  by 
the  fact  that  the  cow  has  a  greater  fondness  for  one  of  the 
men  than  for  the  other.  It  is  a  safe  statement  to  make  that, 
in  the  case  of  every  cow  that  has  made  a  large  record,  she 
was  much  attached  to  the  man  or  men  who  milked  and  fed  her. 

The  milk  production  of  practically  any  Guernsey  cow 
that  has  been  confined  in,  a  stanchion  and  is  producing  40 
pounds  or  above  of  milk  per  day  can  be  increased  by  from  two 
to  three  pounds  daily  by  giving  her  the  liberty  of  a  box  stall. 
This  is  especially  true  in  the  case  of  the  large,  heavy  cow,  and 
also  in  winter  when  the  cow  gets  but  little  exercise. 

Intelligent  and  persistent  effort,  the  habit  of  close  ob- 
servation, and  a  natural  love  for  the  business  are  the  human 
qualities  most  essential  to  the  largest  measure  of  success.

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Guernsey  Families 

I  have  frequently,  in  public  addresses  and  in  articles  I 
have  written,  bemoaned  the  fact  that  there  were  so  few  Guern- 
sey families  and  so  little  effort  being  made  to  found  families 
of  the  breed.  With  more  careful  study  of  the  families  of  the 
breed  and  of  the  conditions  concerning  families  in  other 
breeds,  I  have  come  to  believe  that  one  of  the  factors  that  is 
doing  the  most  to  develop  the  Guernsey  breed  at  this  time  is 
the  fact  that  a  good  animal  of  the  Guernsey  breed  is  more 
largely  sought  after,  regardless  of  its  breeding,  than  good  ani- 
mals of  almost  any  other  breed.  This,  I  am  sure,  is  an  element 
of  strength. 

While  there  are  many  people  advertising  animals  of  this 
or  that  family  for  sale,  they  frequently  carry  less  than  10  per 
cent  of  the  blood  of  the  family  claimed,  and  very  often  much 
less  than  that.  While  some  breeders  are  carefully  line-breed- 
ing some  families  with  most  excellent  results,  the  bulk  of  the 
breeders  are  now  after  good  ones,  regardless  of  their  breeding. 

In  going  over  the  list  of  class  leaders,  as  given  in  the 
Journal  for  May,  1916,  I  think  one  would  be  surprised  to 
see  how  few  of  the  bulls  that  have  been  known  as  great  show 
bulls  or  bulls  of  a  particular  line  of  breeding,  and  have,  there- 
fore become  famous,  have  sired  any  of  the  class  leaders.  To 
illustrate  this  point,  I  have  taken  what  are  probably  20  of  the 
best  known  bulls  of  the  breed,  and  this  list  is  as  follows: 
Governor  of  the  Chene,  Masher's  Sequel,  Benjamin,  Lily's 
Bonny  Boy,  Yeksa's  Prince,  Prince  Rosendale,  Guernsey 
Champion,  Sheet  Anchor,  Yeoman,  King  of  the  May,  Lord 
Mar,  Coralette's  Son,  France's  Masher  II,  Mainstay,  Golden 
Secret,  May  Rose  King,  Galaxy's  Sequel,  Glenwood  Boy  of 
Haddon,  Golden  Noble  II,  Raymond  of  the  Preel. 

Of  this  number,  only  four  have  sired  animals  that  are 
in  the  class-leader  list.  These  are  Yeoman,  that  sired  Dolly 
Dimple,  that  appears  three  times  in  the  list ;  King  of  the  May, 
that  sired  Langwater  Hope,  Langwater  Princess  and  Lang- 
water  Dorothy;  Golden  Noble  II,  that  sired  Princess  of  the 
Blicqs  and  Selby;  and  Glenwood  Boy  of  Haddon,  that  sired 
Dairymaid  of  Pinehurst,  that  appears  twice  in  this  list. 

What  are  perhaps  the  most-talked-of  bulls  of  the  breed 
are  Masher's  Sequel,  Governor  of  the  Chene,  Prince  Rosen- 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  281 

dale  and  Lord  Mar,  that  do  not  have  a  single  one  in  the 
class  leaders. 

I  realize  that  so  many  other  things  enter  in  that  it  is 
difficult  to  judge  which  would  be  really  great  sires.  For  in- 
stance, Masher's  Sequel,  while  he  does  not  have  a  daughter 
among  the  class  leaders,  and  has  never  sired  a  single  cow 
with  a  record  of  over  700  pounds  fat,  nevertheless  has  63 
daughters  in  the  Advanced  Register  out  of  a  total  of  79  reg- 
istered, while  some  other  bulls  that  have  had  an  unusually 
good  chance,  both  in  the  character  of  the  cows  they  were  used 
on  and  the  opportunities  of  their  daughters,  have  proven  to 
be  poor  sires,  when  judged  by  the  production  of  their  daugh- 
ters, even  though  they  may  have  one  daughter  among  the 
class  leaders. 

I  shall,  in  the  following  tables,  attempt  to  classify  some 
of  the  A.  R.  cows  of  the  breed  as  descendants  of  certain  ani- 
mals to  which  we  give  the  names  of  families.  Oftentimes 
it  will  be  found,  however,  that  the  animal  that  is  given  as  a 
descendant  of  Glenwood  Girl  or  May  Rose,  or  any  other  fam- 
ily, may  actually  have  considerably  more  blood  of  several 
little-known  families.  I  have  arranged  these  families  (if  we 
may  call  them  such)  alphabetically,  to  avoid  any  suspicion  of 
favoritism.  These  tables  do  not  purport  to  be  a  complete 
list  of  all  the  Advanced  Register  descendants,  because  bulls 
that  have  but  a  single  Advanced  Register  daughter  are  omit- 
ted, but  all  are  equally  complete.  I  include,  also,  the  descend- 
ants of  some  individual  cows,  which  while  they  cannot  be  said 
to  have  founded  families,  have  yet  proven  themselves  progen- 
itors of  large  numbers  of  A.  R.  animals.  These  tables  will  make 
it  possible  to  trace  the  relationship  of  very  many  animals  of 
the  breed.  These  lists  will  include  the  records  of  some  cows 
that  have  been  completed,  but  to  which  A.  R.  numbers  have 
not  yet  been  assigned,  and,  in  some  cases,  the  records  may 
be  subject  to  very  slight  revision  before  final  publication. 

In  these  tables  each  generation,  one  further  removed  from 
the  original  ancestor,  is  placed  three  points  further  to  the 
right  in  the  table;  as  an  example,  in  the  first  table,  showing 
the  descendants  of  Bonny  Lassie  of  Fernwood,  Sweet  Marie 
is  a  daughter  of  Murne  Cowan,  she  being  a  daughter  of  Fan- 
tasia's Jeweler,  he  a  son  of  Lily  Ella's  Jeweler,  he  a  son  of 
Lily  Ella,  and  she  a  daughter  of  Lily's  Bonny  Boy,  which 
would  place  Sweet  Marie  15  points  to  the  right  of  Lily's 
Bonny  Boy,  or  five  generations,  and  this  is  as  far  as  I  have 
deemed  wise  to  attempt  to  carry  the  tables.

Imported  Bonnie  Lassie  of  Fernwood  1485. 

Bonnie  Lassie  of  Fernwood  1485,  A.  G.  C.  C.,  was  No.  1181  G. 
H.  B.  on  Guernsey,  was  bred  by  D.  O.  Le  Patourel,  and  was  dropped 
January  14,  1883.  Her  tabulated  pedigree  will  be  of  interest  as  show- 
ing how  strong  she  was  in  the  blood  of  the  bull,  Vauquiedor  40,  F.  S., 
that  won  first  prize  over  the  Island  in  1867  and  1868. 


Imp.  Bonnie  Lassie  of  Fernwood  1485. 

Her  dam,  Bonnie  Lassie  I,  was  said  by  her  Island  owner,  D.  O. 
Le  Patourel,  to  be  "the  best  cow  he  ever  owned,"  and  is  credited  with 
being  a  25-quart  cow.  Her  son,  Excelsior  VII,  a  full  brother  of  Bon- 
nie Lassie  of  Fernwood,  sired  Belle  of  the  Hill  II  3656,  with  a  milk 
record  of  6,239^  pounds  in  the  Ellerslie  herd;  and  her  sons,  Bonnie 
Laddie  468,  P.  S.,  and  Bonnie  Laddie  II  630,  P.  S.,  were  used  quite 
largely  on  the  Island,  the  former  siring  many  good  cows,  among  them 
Honoria  IV  5989,  A.  G.  C.  €.,  with  a  record  of  9,589  pounds  milk  and 
455.87  pounds  fat  in  the  Florham  herd. 

Bonnie  Lassie  of  Fernwood  was  imported'  to  Boston  in  Septem- 
ber, 1883,  by  L.  W.  Ledyard,  and  shortly  after  sold  to  Wm.  Paul, 
Moorestown,  N.  J.  Her  first  calf,  Bonny  Boy  1097,  was  dropped  April 
27,  1885,  and  it  is  through  this  son  that  most  of  the  fame  of  the 
family  has  come.  She  proved  to  be  an  exceptionally  good  milker 
and'  milked  16  quarts  per  day  when  fresh,  testing  25  per  cent  of  cream. 
In  315  days  she  milked  over  8,000  pounds  and  was  still  milking  22 
pounds  per  day  at  the  end  of  that  time.  As  a  four-year-old,  in  the  257 
days  from  August  15th  to  May  1st,  she  milked  7,191  pounds  and  was 
still  milking  30  pounds  when  sold  and  shipped  west. 

Her  son,  Bonny  Boy,  was  sired  by  Imp.  Fernwood  Royal  645,  a 
son  of  Countess  of  Fernwood,  14  pounds  12  ounces  butter  in  seven

days,  and  said  to  be  one  of  the  best  cows  yet  imported;  so  that 
Bonny  Boy  had  good  blood  on  both  sides. 

Very  few  of  the  daughters  of  Bonny  Boy  ever  had  a  chance  to 
be  tested.  Coralie  of  Ridgeview  5926  made  334.12  pounds  fat  from 
8,085.1  pounds  of  milk,  commencing  at  lll/2  years  of  age. 

Bonny  Gift  3912,  a  daughter  of  Bonny  Boy,  owned  by  N.  K.  Fair- 
bank,  calved  when  2  years  and  7  months  old,  and  in  375  days  gave 
9,158  pounds  and  1  ounce  of  milk,  giving  up  to  38  pound's  and  7 
ounces  per  day.  She  was  sold  to  a  Chicago  man  for  a  family  cow, 
and  both  she  and  her  daughter  proved  to  be  exceptionally  good  cows. 

Another    daughter    of    Bonny    Boy,    Bonnie    Lassie    of    Fairview 


Coralie  of  Ridgeview  5926 — 334.12  pounds  fat  from  8,085.1  pounds  milk,  commencing 
at  11J4  years  of  age. 

6002,  was  selected  by  the  committee  as  worthy  to  be  taken  to  Buffalo 
for  use  in  the  Pan-American  test,  though  she  was  13  years  old.  She 
did  not  do  well  enough  to  go  into  the  test  but  was  a  very  good  cow. 
She  was  the  dam  of  Henry  of  Fairview  6962,  that  sired  Jessie  of  Maple 
Lane  23457,  A.  R.  1706  A,  595.2  pounds  fat.  Many  of  Bonny  Boy's 
other  daughters  are  spoken  of  very  highly  by  those  who  owned  them. 
It  is  through  his  sons,  however,  that  Bonny  Boy  is  best  known. 

Lily's  Bonny  Boy  was  sold  when  a  yearling  to  N.  K.  Fairbank,  Lake 
Geneva,  Wis.,  and  Mr.  Lawrence,  his  superintendent,  says  he  did  not 
take  a  particular  fancy  to  the  bull,  as  he  was  rather  small  and  a  little 
beefy.  He  was  used  extensively  in  this  herd  from  1891  to  1897,  spend- 
ing his  whole  life  there  except  one  season,  when  he  was  rented  to 
Walter  Hately,  of  Lake  Beulah,  Wis.  Bonny  Boy's  sons  with  their 
descendants  are  as  follows:

France  2207,  A.  G.  C.  C. 

(See  picture  on  page   115,   Chapter  IV.) 

Imp.  France  2207  was  No.  404,  F.  S.,  on  the  Island,  and  was  born 
June,  1877.  She  was  owned  by  P.  D.  Ozanne,  Les  Pelleys,  Castel, 
Guernsey,  who  still  keeps  the  France  family,  and  she  was  bought  of 
T.  Vidmour,  Les  Frances,  St.  Saviours,  Guernsey.  It  was  because 

she  came  from  this  farm  that  Mr.  Ozanne  called  her  France.  Mr. 
Vidmour  tells  me  that  the  cows  now  on  his  farm  are  distant  relatives 

of  France.  She  won  fifth  prize  at  the  Island  show  in  1881  and  1882, 
and  was  imported  in  September,  1884,  by  A.  F.  Fuller,  Catasauqua, 
Pa.,  and  sold  to  Francis  Shaw,  Wayland,  Mass. 


THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  309 

She  was  sired  by  King  John  137,  G.  H.  B.,  and  out  of  Belle  Pale 
1460,  G.  H.  B.  While  on  the  Island  she  made  a  record  of  15.5  pounds 
butter  (Guernsey  weight,  18  ounces  to  a  pound)  or  17  pounds  7 
ounces  English  weight.  When  she  came  to  this  country  she  left  on 
the  Island  one  daughter,  France  2d  10002,  P.  S.,  and'  she.  too.  was  im- 
ported by  Mr.  Shaw  in  1892,  when  her  daughter,  France  3d  3018,  P. 
S.,  later  imported  into  this  country  and  known  as  La  Belle  France 
14454,  was  but  a  year  old.  France  herself  was,  when  she  was  import- 
ed, carrying  the  calf  Imp.  France  3d'  2573,  which  was  dropped  May 
8,  1885,  and  also  owned  by  Mr.  Shaw. 

It  will  thus  be  noted  that  France  and  France  II  each  had  a  daugh- 
ter called  France  III,  the  daughter  of  the  first  being  born  in  this 
country,  while  the  daughter  of  France  II  was  born  on  the  Island  but 
later  came  to  this  country.  It  is  from  the  France  III  born  on  the 
Island  that  the  family  now  known  as  the  France  family  is  descended. 
Neither  France  nor  France  II  has  more  than  one  daughter  recorded 
on  the  Island,  but  France  II  was  the  dam  of  France's  Jewel  3738, 
dropped  just  before  she  left  the  Island,  and'  later  imported  by  A.  J. 
Cassett,  Berwyn,  Pa.,  and  was  the  sire  of  Ortive  13273,  A.  R.  122,  with 
a  record  of  8,116.2  pounds  milk  and  469.9  pounds  fat.  He  was  also 
sire  of  La  Grande  of  Chester  4169,  that  sired  Bessie  of  Belle-Vernon 
10772,  A.  R.  962,  A,  with  a  record  of  8,888.02  pounds  milk  or  478.26 
pounds  fat. 

Mr.  Ozanne  has  continued  to  name  the  females  of  the  family  the 
same  name  "France"  with  numerals  attached  without  regarding  the 
rule  of  the  Island  that  an  animal  to  have  a  name  like  "France  IV" 
must  be  out  of  the  original  France,  and  he  has  now  reached  to  France 
XL.  It  was  also  his  custom  to  name  nearly  all  of  the  bulls  "France's 
Jewel"  with  numerals  after  them,  and  he  now  has  France's  Jewel  XVII. 

Imp.  La  Belle  France  14454  (France  III  3018,  P.  S.)  was  imported 
to  this  country  by  H.  McK.  Twombly  at  a  reported  price  larger  than 
had  ever  been  paid  for  a  Guernsey  cow  up  to  that  time.  It  is  very 
unfortunate  for  the  breed  as  well  as  for  Mr.  Twombly  that  she  died 
of  milk  fever  at  her  next  calving.  She  was  first  prize  young  cow  on 
the  Island  in  1894,  first  prize  aged  cow  in  1895,  1899,  1900  and  1901, 
and  second  prize  in  1897,  third,  1896,  and  won  champion  prize  for 
four  years.  She  was  the  dam  of

Glenwood  Girl  was  shown  as  a  yearling  by  Mr.  Ledyard  at  the 
New  York  State  Fair  and  won  first  prize.  She  was  shortly  afterward 
purchased  by  E.  T.  Gill,  of  Haddonfield,  N.  J.,  and  there  she  lived 
to  produce  12  living  calves,  seven  of  which  were  heifers.  All  of  the 
heifers  Mr.  Gill  kept  and  developed.  Having  been  well  acquainted 
with  Mr.  Gill's  herd  and  with  these  daughters  of  the  old  cow,  I  am 
safe  in  saying  that  no  other  cow  brought  out  by  the  records  has 
equaled  Glenwood  Girl  as  a  breeder.

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


It  is  quite  certain  that  the  prepotency  of  this  family  comes  from 
Glenwood'  Girl,  as  her  daughters  were  sired  by  many  different  bulls. 
Glenwood  Girl  2d  was  sired  by  Kalmia  740,  and  when  10  years  old 
gave  9,944.7  pounds  milk,  containing  508.7  pounds  fat.  She  lived  to 
be  16  years  old  and  then  was  killed'  because  of  an  injury.  Her  first 
calves  were  bulls  that  were  sold  to  farmers.  Her  first  daughter  was 
Armorel  of  Haddon  9529,  that  made  347.7  pounds  butter  with  her 
first  calf  and  435.7  pounds  with  her  second  calf.  She  was  also  dam  of 


Glenwood   Girl   2d   9108.  ^ 

Armorel  2d  of  Haddon  9530  that  made  398.2  pounds  butter  with  her 
first  calf. 

Glenwood  Girl  3d  9109  had  a  private  record  of  464.4  pounds  fat 
by  Mr.  Gill.  She  was  sired  by  Lord  Ko  Ko  2353,  a  son  of  Sir  Champion 
15th  509  and  Imp.  Bess  of  Ogier  835,  a  cow  that  Mr.  Gill  said  milked 
22  quarts  for  him. 

Glenwood  Girl  4th  9110  was  sired  by  Darius  of  Sunnyside  2716, 
a  son  of  Darius  1164  and  Gemsey  175,  and  made  432.07  pound's  fat. 

Glenwood  Girl  5th  9111  was  a  full  sister  of  Glenwood  Girl  4th 
and  was  the  poorest  one  of  the  seven  daughters  and  she  had  a  rec- 
ord of  354.2  pounds  fat. 

Glenwood  Girl  6th  9113  (see  picture  on  page  161,  chapter  V.), 
was  sired  by  Holton  2d  2828,  a  son  of  Holton  1316  and  Typone  1616. 
She  was  considered  by  most  breeders  as  the  best  of  the  daughters 
of  the  old  cow,  but  she  scarcely  proved'  as  good  a  breeder  as  Glen- 
wood Girl  2d.  Three  or  four  of  her  calves  died  before  reaching  ma^

turity  and  she  left  only  one  daughter  to  come  to  milk  which  was  only 
ordinary. 

Glenwood  Girl  7th  and'  Glenwood  Girl  8th  were  sired  by  Pat  of 
H addon  3919.

The  herd  of  Ben  Clark  &  Son  has  long  been  one  of  the  best  herds 
in  Wisconsin,  and  for  several  years  past  every  animal  in  the  herd

(See    picture,    page    190,    Chapter   VII.) 

Duchess  of  Geneva  847  was  imported  by  S.  C.  Kent,  West  Grove. 
Pa.,  August  28,  1881,  being  then  a  two-year-old  heifer  carrying  her 
first  calf.  This  calf,  a  heifer,  was  dropped  September  11,  1881,  and 
was  named  Nerissa  of  Geneva  848,  and  she  came  with  her  mother  that 
same  winter  to  the  farm  of  N.  K.  Fairbank,  Lake  Geneva,  Wis. 

Duchess  proved  to  be  an  unusually  good  cow,  milking  her  best 
in  January,  1885,  when  she  reached  36  pounds  3  ounces  milk  in  one 
day,  and  1,078  pounds  and  13  ounces  for  the  month,  and  from  January 
1st  to  October  26th  she  milked  7,143X4  pounds  milk.  I  find  in  the 
Fairbank  record  books,  so  carefully  kept  for  years  by  Supt.  Law- 
rence, two  churn  tests  of  Duchess.  One  was  of  seven  milkings  in 
March,  1885,  when  she  gave  108  pounds  14  ounces  of  milk  from  which 
was  churned  4  pounds  9  ounces  of  butter;  and  one  in  November,  1883, 
when  in  seven  days  she  gave  182  pounds  3  ounces  milk,  which  made 
10  pounds  12  ounces  of  butter,  she  having  calved  in  September.  She 
lived  until  February  17,  1887,  and  had'  six  calves,  but  we  hear  little 
of  three  of  them.  Her  son,  Duchine,  was  used  some  in  the  Fairbank 
herd  and  sired  at  least  one  good  cow,  Duchinette,  who  was  the  ma- 
ternal grandmother  of  Standard,  A.  R.  30. 

Duchess  was  sired  on  the  Island  by  Billy  1st  109,  F.  S.,  and  her 
daughter,  Nerissa  by  Billy  2d  110,  F.  S.,  and  they  were  bred  by  F.

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED  361 

rence  says  he   considered  her  fully  as   good  if  not  better  than   her 
sister,   Materna. 

She  was  an  unusually  good  cow,  and  as  a  sample  of  her  work, 
will  quote  the  following  three  successive  years'  work: 

1886-1887  342  days  8,167  Ibs.  10  oz.  milk 

1887-1888  313  days  7,881  Ibs.     1  oz.  milk 

1888  283  days  7,246  Ibs.     3  oz.  milk 

She  milked  well  every  year,  and  in  the  year  October,  1892,  to 
September,  1893,  356  days,  she  gave  8,462  pounds  12  ounces  milk,  and 
as  Babcock  tests  were  then  being  made  in  the  herd  for  the  first  year, 
she  is  credited  with  381.66  pounds  fat,  average  test  4.51  per  cent  fat. 

Best  day's  milk,  April  10  and  11,  1888,  42  pounds  3  ounces  each. 

April  19,  1888,  milk  38  pounds  12  ounces  churned  made  2  pounds 
5  ounces  butter. 

Three  days,  May  14-16,  1887,  111  pounds  5  ounces  milk  churned 
made  5  pounds  8  ounces  butter. 

She  died  of  milk  fever  in  November,  1893.  Her  first  calf,  Ner- 
issola,  gave  7,617  pounds  of  milk  in  a  year,  and  was  dam  of  Moyra, 
A.  R.  632,  531.25  pounds  fat,  and  she  in  turn  dam  of

Materna  was  born  September  3,  1882,  and  was  sired  by  Amber 
145,  as  he  was  usually  called,  but  note  in  back  of  Volume  I  of  the 
American  Guernsey  Cattle  Club  Herd  Book  says  his  rightful  name 
was  Amber  Chief. 

This  bull  had  at  least  19  registered  daughters,  but  little  is  known 
of  them  except  Laura  3d  of  Chateau  that  left  many  good  descend- 
ants in  the  herd  of  F.  W.  Tratt,  Georgie  1181,  who  did  the  same  for 
I.  J.  Clapp's  herd,  and  Bonnibell  owned  by  W.  D.  Hoard  and  which 
he  valued  very  highly,  and  he  often  speaks  of  her. 

Amber  145  also  sired  Kalmia,  the  sire  of  Glenwood  Girl  2d. 

She  made  a  very  good  record  at  Chicago  in  1893,  milking  up  to 
42  pounds  per  day,  and  calving  April  5th,  was  still  milking  40  pounds 
up  to  August  13th.  She  gave  in  15  days  of  cheese  test  598.2  pounds 
milk.  In  90  days  butter  test  ending  August  30th,  she  gave  3,511.8 
pounds  milk  and  153.39  pounds  fat.  In  30  days  test  ending  Septem- 
ber 30th,  she  gave  1,058.4  pounds  milk  and  45.16  pounds  fat.  After 
reaching  home  in  October,  1893,  she  milked  up  to  25.9  pounds  per  day. 

Materna  was  also  first  prize  Guernsey  cow  in  World's  Fair  Show 
ring  in  1893. 

She  dropped  her  first  calf  October  27,  1884,  being  then  25  months 
old,  and  proved  her  greatness  at  once  by  milking  over  30  pounds 
most  of  December  and  January  that  winter,  the  best  day  being  30 
pounds  12  ounces  on  January  8th.  She  was  tested  for  seven  milkings 
February  25th  to  28th,  and  gave  83  pounds  11  ounces  of  milk  and 
made  4  pounds  1  ounce  of  butter. 

Her  records  for  her  life  time  will,  I  think,  be  of  interest: 

1884-1885         385  days         8,895  pounds  10  ounces  milk. 
1886  262  days         6,935  pounds     8  ounces  milk. 

1887-1888         594  days       14,309  pounds  11  ounces  milk. 


362  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

1888-1889  298  days         8,802  pounds     4  ounces  milk. 

1889-1890  298  days         7,839  pounds  11  ounces  milk. 

1890-1891  304  days         7,331  pounds     7  ounces  milk. 

1891-1892  489  days       10,298  pounds  IS  ounces  niilk. 

1893  At    World's    Fair,    Chicago. 

1894-1895  290  days         4,931.5  pounds  milk. 

1896-1897  563  days         8,494      pounds  milk,    418.75    pounds    fat. 

Ill  days         2,064.6  pounds  milk;  had  garget  and  was  dried  off. 

1898  Can  find  no  milk  record. 

I  find  in  the  books  that  Mr.  Lawrence  tested  her  several  times 
for  butter,  and  in  seven  days,  March  15th  to  21st  inclusive,  1887,  she 
gave  285  pounds  15  ounces  milk  and  made  16  pounds  8  ounces  butter, 
and  March  5th  to  llth,  1886,  she  made  16  pound's  ^  ounce  butter  from 
264  pounds  6  ounces  of  milk.  Best  365  days  milk,  1887-'88,  10,778 
pounds. 

Best  day's  milk  I  find  for  her  was  January  30,  1887,  43  pounds 
10  ounces.

If  the  descendants  of  Materna  had  been  kept  together  in  the 
Fairbank  herd,  wonderful  results  might  have  been  accomplished. 
At  least  at  three  different  times  Mr.  Fairbank  allowed  people  to  buy 
the  pick  of  his  herd,  even  as  many  as  ten  of  the  best  young  cows  at 
one  time,  and  most  of  these  went  where  they  were  never  heard  of 
again.  Materna  was  certainly  a  wonderful  dairy  cow  and  was  so 
prepotent  that  her  dairy  qualities  have  been  given  to  her  descendants 
in  very  bountiful  measure.

Masher  was  born  May  2,  1890.  He  was  bred  by  F.  N.  Mahy  and 
owned  by  Alfred  La  Patourel,  La  Ramee,  Guernsey,  who  has  ever 
since  this  time  kept  bulls  in  his  herd  descendants  of  this  bull.  He 
was  used  on  the  Island  until  he  was  at  least  six  years  of  age. 

The  Masher  and  France  families  have  been  so  closely  inter- 
mingled that  it  has  seemed  wise  to  omit  from  the  Masher  family 
tables  the  bull,  France's  Masher  2d,  and'  his  descendants.  These  can

May  Rose  Family. 

May  Rose  1392,  F.  S.,  the  original  cow  of  this  family,  was  born 
May  12,  1881,  and  registered  as  lemon  fawn,  and  was  bred  and  owned 
by  Pierre  Martel,  La  Masse,  Castel,  Guernsey.  She  was  third  prize 
aged  cow  at  Whitsuntide  Show,  May,  1885.  All  the  fame  of  this  well 
known  family  came  through  her  daughter  May  Rose  2d  3251,  P.  S., 
and  later  exported  to  England  and  known  there  as  Claremont  May 
Rose  3648,  E.  G.  H.  B.  She  was  dropped  May  30,  1884,  and  registered 
as  lemon  fawn  and  white,  and  was  sired  by  Pharon  43,  P.  S.,  a  son 
of  the  well  known  Presto  14,  P.  S.,  to  which  a  large  part  of  the  best 
Island  cattle  trace.  She  won  first  prize  at  the  Whitsuntide  Shows  in 
1894,  1896,  1897,.  and  second  in  1895,  being  beaten  that  time  by  France 
3d,  that  she  in  turn  beat  in  1896  and  1897.  She  was  also  first  prize 
at  the  Royal  Yorkshire  Agricultural  Show  at  Harrogate  in  1897,  and 
third  at  the  English  Royal  in  1897. 

Because  so  many  of  the  best  known  descendants  of  May  Rose 
2d'  were  in  England  or  on  the  Island  and  never  imported  to  this  coun- 
try, and,  therefore,  have  no  A.  R.  records,  it  has  seemed  wise  to 
make  some  exception  to  the  rule  and  put  in  this  table  three  or  four  of

May  Rose  2d  certainly  was  one  of  the  greatest  cows  that  the 
breed  has  produced  as  an  individual,  a  producer,  and  a  breeder.  Her 
son,  May  Rose  King,  had  he  had  the  best  opportunity  possible  in  the 
Florham  herd,  would'  have  shown  up  even  more  wonderfully  than  he 
has  done,  and  King  of  the  May,  that  was  both  her  grandson  and 
great  grandson,  has,  as  a  producer  of  high  class  cows,  not  been 
excelled.

tember  25,  1907.  She  was  sold  by  Mr.  Martel  to  Sir  H.  D.  Tich- 
borne,  Bart.,  Tichborne  Park,  Alresford,  Hants,  England,  and'  she  was 
registered  in  England  as  Itchen  Dairymaid  7688,  E.  G.  H.  B.  Mr. 
Tichborne  showed  her  at  the  R.  A.  S.  E.  at  Newcastle  in  1908.  where 
she  won  first  and  third  prize  in  the  milking  contest.  She  was  in- 
jured in  a  train  accident  on  the  way  home  from  these  shows  and 
never  recovered.  As  far  as  I  am  able  to  find  she  had  but  two  regis- 
tered calves,  one  of  these  being  the  bull  Masher  63,  F.  S.,  the  best 
known  bull  they  have  ever  had  in  Alderney.  He  was  reserve  for

the  same  time  as  his  mother,  and  registered  in  England  as  Masher

THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 


Selma  3d  of   Pinehurst   23798,  A.    R.    786,   E. — 512.98   Ibs.   butterfat   in   a   year. 

Sheet  Anchor  2934,  A.  R. 

(See   picture,   page   205,    Chapter   VIII.) 

Sheet  Anchor  2934  was  born  December  2,  1891,  was  bred  by 
Levi  P.  Morton,  and  was  purchased  as  a  calf  by  Joseph  L.  Hope  for 
the  Florham  herd,  where  he  spent  the  remainder  of  his  life.  He  was 
first  prize  winner  at  nearly  all  of  the  Eastern  fairs  in  1895  and  1897, 
and  was  one  of  the  great  show  bulls  of  the  breed.  Few  bulls  have 
had  as  great  an  opportunity  as  he,  but  he  certainly  was  not  so  great 
a  success  as  a  sire  as  some  of  the  other  great  bulls  of  the  breed.  His 
pedigree  is  as  follows: 


Imp.    Lord    Stranford   2187, 
1st    prize    over    the     Is- 
land,  1889.

Imp.  Tricksey  1760. 

Tricksey  1760  was  bred  by  John  Gibson,  St.  Martin's,  Guernsey, 
and  was  No.  267  of  the  Calf  Register  of  the  Royal  Guernsey  Agricul- 
tural Society.  The  following  is  her  tabulated  pedigree:

k  Beauty. 
Lady   Bird   604,   F.    S. 

She  was  imported  by  the  late  S.  C.  Kent,  was  sold  by  him  to 
J.  H.  Jackson,  West  Grove,  Pa.,  and  later  repurchased  by  Mr.  Kent. 
She  was  the  property  of  Mr.  Kent  until  June,  1887,  when  she  was 
sold  to  I.  J.  Clapp,  Kenosha,  Wis.,  and  at  the  dispersal  of  his  herd 
after  his  death  she  was  sold  on  June  25,  1890,  to  R.  S.  Houston, 
Kenosha,  Wis.  In  the  fall  of  1891  she  was  sold  to  the  Minnesota 
Experiment  Station,  where  she  died  of  tuberculosis  at  about  12  years 
of  age,  after  probably  carrying  the  disease  for  several  years. 

I  saw  Tricksey  for  the  first  time  at  Mr.  Clapp's,  May  29,  1887, 
and  was  impressed  at  first  sight  with  her  beauty  and'  her  dairy 
qualities. 

I  think  she  was  never  shown  at  a  fair  but  once,  at  the  Wisconsin 
State  Fair  in  1888,  where  she  was  second  in  aged  cow  class,  and, 
under  another  judge,  was  sweepstakes  Guernsey  cow,  any  age. 

She  was  never  tested  either  for  a  week  or  a  year  while  in  her 
prime,  but  when  I  was  at  Mr.  Clapp's  farm  on  October  1,  1889, 


404  THE  GUERNSEY  BREED 

Tricksey  had  calved  September  6th,  and'  was  milking  over  40  pounds. 
At  my  request  Mr.  Clapp  saved  one  day's  milk,  from  which  was 
made  2  pounds  7^4  ounces  of  butter. 

While  tubercular  in  her  llth  year  at  the  Minnesota  Station  she 
made  340.7  pounds  fat  in  a  year.  R.  S.  Houston  once  wrote  me  that 
she  was  the  richest  milker  he  ever  had  in  his  herd. 

Tricksey  was  evidently  always  a  regular  breeder.  Her  first  calf 
was  St.  John  of  West  Grove  10791,  sired  by  Yellow  Sultan  367,  and 
was  dropped  May  11,  1884.  This  bull  had  no  registered  progeny,  as 
far  as  I  can  find. 

Her  second  calf  was  Tricksey  2d  2633,  last  owned  by  W.  I.  Hamil- 
ton, Fond  du  Lac,  Wisconsin,  and  she  went  in  the  tubercular  wreck 
of  his  herd  in  1890.  She  was  a  very  choice  cow,  and  made  8  pounds 
of  butter  in  2>l/2  days  as  a  three-year-old.  Her  sire  was  Lord  Balti- 
more 456. 

The  records  of  her  other  descendants  are  as  follows:

was  the  second  man  to  bring  Guernseys  into  Wisconsin,  in  the  fall 
of  1881.  She  was  born  April  12,  1885,  and  was  named  after  a  Turkish 
nurse  who  had,  shortly  before  the  birth  of  this  calf,  come  from  Syria 
and  been  engaged'  by  Mr.  Clapp  to  care  for  his  little  niece. 


Yeksa  2426. 

Yeksa  was  sold,  with  her  half-brother  Puck,  to  Mrs.  Etta  A. 
Foster,  Sparta,  Wisconsin.  Mrs.  Foster  tested  the  cow  at  both  two 
and  three  years  of  age,  and  reported  that  she  made  561  pounds  of 
butter  as  a  two-year-old',  and  over  600  pounds  as  a  three-year-old;  but 
the  reports  show  that  part  of  the  time  a  pound  of  butter  was  made 
from  11  1-3  pounds  of  milk,  and  in  light  of  later  test  work,  the  rec- 
ords may  be  taken  with  a  grain  of  allowance.  There  is  no  doubt, 
however,  that  she  was  a  great  cow.  Mrs.  Foster  raised  from  the  pair, 
which  were  half  brother  and  sister,  one  bull  and  two  heifers.  The 
bull  was  Yeksa's  Prince  1943,  and  the  daughters  were  Queen  Vashti 
6051,  A.  R.  174,  435.57  pounds  fat  at  14  years  of  age,  and  Bonny  T'ean 
3646.  Yeksa's  Prince  was  sold  to  W.  D.  Richardson,  Garden  City, 
Minn.,  and  Bonny  Jean  to  Nels  Martinson,  Hutchinson,  Minn. 

Queen  Vashti  was  bred  to  her  own  sire,  and  produced  Yeksa's 
Queen,  and  the  cow  and  calf  were  sold  to  A.  J.  Philips,  West  Salem, 
Wis.  It  would  seem  as  though  the  blood  had  been  effectually  scat- 
tered, and  so  it  was  for  a  time;  but  later,  through  the  efforts  of  the 
late  Fred  Rietbrock,  much  of  it  was  again  united  in  the  Helendale 
herd.  Bonny  Jean,  the  oldest  of  the  three  calves,  was  born  September
